Yes... one idea I have seen floated is that every other release should work 
within the constraints of not requireing dump/reload, so that the really 
nasty upgrade cycles could be spread out 2 years apart, but people could get 
new features / imporvements each year if they wanted to.  It sounds like a 
good idea in theory, but would take some real world wrangling to achieve it.
