in general I understand and agree.

BUT I still have some 42.1 systems running just fine, and esp. now 
with 42.x and 42.(x+1) being "much closer", it would be nice (for 
us lazy admins with "legacy" 42.1 systems;) to skip the effort of 
upgrading to an intermeadiate 42.2 just to reach 42.3 RSN...

so either I have to ignore the 42.1 EOL and cross fingers while waiting for 42.3 being released,
or there'll be 2 upgrades to be scheduled within short period (as I aim for 42.3 on all systems...)


just my 0.02 EUR ;-)
