Perhaps the developers need to be briefed ahead of time about the impending
changes to the operating system, and have the opportunity to use and explore
the new verion before it is released to the public, instead of at the same
time.  Software revision takes time, I don't think it's just a matter of
the developers sitting on their duffs all day.
