Although I am not completely sure if this is the right thread, here
are my 2 cents:

The "ordinary" user of TW, the ones that just use it as their
scrapbook or GTD-tool, as a blog or as a website, or whatever TWs are
used for, will in general not be interested in the latest and greatest
TW version.
Even more when a new version does not deliver any functionality (like
v2.5.0). These are the people for which the "upgrade"-functionality in
the "backstage" was rightfully created.

Developers and Plugin-writers on the contrary love to get a version
with new techniques built in (like jQuery) and prefer to get the
latest, even if not fully tested yet. These type of folks don't need
the backstage-feature to upgrade their stuff automatically. They have
the knowledge to upgrade their TWs to whatever version in whatever
way.

In conclusion: I am very much in favour of an approach in which we
have a so called "stable" version. It should at the same time be the
version that your TW is upgraded with if you perform the upgrade-
backstage-function.
In the current situation that would i.m.o. definitely be TW v2.4.3.

So please, for the benefit of the thousends make TW v2.4.3 available
with the automatic upgrade-function (and call it something like
"latest stable release").
And, yes for the techies, find an alternative distribution channel and
give them TW v2.5.0 (although a version-number starting with 3 would
be better and more clearly mark the new jQuery wave), and call it e.g.
"developers release".

Thanks for you attention, and w/best rgrds,
Ton van Rooijen.
