Sounds fairly reasonable, but if the time delay is >=, say, 4-6 months, it
really would be better for us if we got the buggy versions than to get the good
versions half a year late.  By that time, the Partners/Associates will already
be on to the newest P & D disk, again 6 months ahead of "the rest of us".

If it takes only, say, 2 months delay, that's not too bad, though.
