You don't understand my point! Please make sure you understood what the 
other person is saying before accusing them of hypocrisy!

Thomas Janssen is the one who proposed to cater to people with low bandwidth 
by making the N-1 release (and only the N-1 release, not the N release) less 
often updated. My argument is that this doesn't make sense because upgrading 
every 6 months will suck for those people (and also for other user groups 
who are asking for conservative updates).
