The user has to tolerate some change. We can't cater to people who
never upgrade which seems to be what is taking place. Especially with
the fact that our end of life happens sooner, users must already
expect a constant stream of updates. If they want more stability they
should be using RHEL, CentOS or Scientific Linux, Debian Stable,
Ubuntu LTS which do put the focus on non disruptiveness.
