Indeed, though packaging systems like to use released versions of software, and users like to use whatever their packaging system offers them. Having any sort of formal, numbered SIMH release - call it 4.0 or 3.99 or 7.5q for all that it matters - will encourage packaging systems to update to that version, and will then expose more users to the most current version of the software. A very significant number of changes have happened since the last formal release (3.9) and it would seem appropriate to have a more modern version available to most users.
