Because my widget still relies on those square pegs, so that means
everybody's widget has to be changed at the same time. Or it won't work.
lol
Oh and I'm still using that same widget I had back in 1980. But it still
works.

Here's a thought; Why do distros even need 'releases' at all? If a constant
update cycle was used, rather than one huge dist-upgrade, these problems
would hardly ever arise... And when they did, it would be with one or two
components, hopefully NOT mission critical, and could be fixed with five
minutes of hunting and updating an /etc config file.
installer ISOs could be generated weekly or so, or just be netinst images I
guess Distrowatch would be out of business in that case.
Upgrades suck, I reinstall ;)
