The idea is that our updates, even version upgrades, Just Work. We don't and 
shouldn't push stuff which is known to regress things, e.g. KOffice 2 is not 
a suitable update for a release which shipped with KOffice 1 (and indeed KDE 
SIG is not pushing that one, we are not the insane mindless "push 
everything" drones people are portraying us as!).
