I strongly disagree! We're not talking about fancy *beta* code with new
features, some folks around here are just desperate to get their boxes
into a working condition. With the current release our max 4000 reboots
every three days. each time kicking many *paying* customers.
Am we asking to much when we request a fix for problems like that?
Other open tickets are also forcing us to upgrade (V34 performance
issues, K56/V34 compatibility issues etc...).
In the meantime our quality of service is lacking, due to these issues.

I couldn't care less about bleeding edge technology, these patch
release are primarily designed to fix bugs and to make existing
technology (like K56flex) work. We paid a substantial amount of
money for our boxes and IMHO it's not too much to ask that we get
them working as advertized. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
