I'm not entirely clear on why .15 required the oss... but I will say
that I concur with Scott and Brian: I too believe it reasonable for an
application not to require a OS patch for a point release, especially
one that's a bugfix. This is one of the reasons why release managers
are expected to feature freeze older releases at some point: so that
all later point releases *are* bugfix only release -- because I *don't*
think it's unreasonable for feature releases to require such upgrade.
But those should be 5.x upgrades, not 5.x.y upgrades.
Cheers,
