[maemo-developers] Why can't Nokia/Maemo release consistent versions for an upgrade?

[From: tz]

Thank you - it seemed to take some time for the package.gz spiders to
find things, but everything seems in sync with osso6 and my package is
updating properly (from extras-devel - now there is a dichotomy with
pre-5.2008 needing osso4 and post needing osso6, but after the upgrade
becomes common I can promote it to extras).

The biggest annoyance is before the correction there was no history or
link or whatever I could use to fix it myself (without causing worse
evils than I'm trying to solve).

When I tried my own upgrade I had a problem with the SSU and had to
reflash my Wimax n810 (the metalayer crawler bug
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3938 which I traced because it
happened again with supld and added a long comment explaining where
the fix for that needs to be - it affects any /etc/init.d entry).
