Or they are making changes just to be making changes.  Removing
options and moving things around might not bother a new user
but it can't be for the betterment of someone already running
a current version.  Consider that Sun claims that you can run
any program written for 2.6 (released in 1996) under the current
Solaris 10.  You don't have to break existing conventions,
documented interfaces, and API's to make improvements.
