I don't understand your comment, Michael, but note that the reason we have a 
problem here is because Nokia have put in place mechanisms that prevent an 
application installation from updating just the component packages it needs.  
So, users get software in whole "releases" and will be unwilling to upgrade 
their "release" just to install an application.

We have to live with that and try to come up with a solution that is best for 
the users.  In my view, that means having as many apps as possible available 
to people who are still running the initial release.
