Just to clarify for my edification...  You're basically saying that if
you develop Widget Tracker 3.2 and claim to support linux, then fP raises
the bar on which versions of linux they support, you're up the proverbial
creek sans paddle inasfar as supporting your own customers that can't/won't
upgrade their OS?

If so, I agree with you; that would have a potentially substantial impact
on your ability to do business and honour your own agreements.  In fact,
that's a highly unenvyable position in which to be.
