Evil by any name is still....
version numbers {shiver}
necessary in some way of course, for draft reports and the like where deadlines exist and final output condition is required but....
but, replacing one system with another instead of honing and improving the system is appalling.
We enter a race condition that involves new hardware and software developments being included that serve no purpose in older systems, the kernel bloats, bugs are not fixed, but cued, the existing system ceases to be improved and instead the new system version goes into the same development loop that never get to the point of being complete and fully functional without bugs.
There is fit for purpose, when will people (Tech, Programmers and Corporates) realise that we need different purposes, cannot have one device fits all, nor do we need to run off and acquire the latest crap just because it's new. We have a purpose we need to fulfill, do it!! then leave it alone. and go on to the next purpose.
