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.
