Yes... one idea I have seen floated is that every other release should work
within the constraints of not requireing dump/reload, so that the really
nasty upgrade cycles could be spread out 2 years apart, but people could get
new features / imporvements each year if they wanted to. It sounds like a
good idea in theory, but would take some real world wrangling to achieve it.
