	I was meaning to convey the fact that 12.2 is in no way equal to
or better than 12.0 at all.

	There is no feature-path consistency that other vendors provide.

	eg: juniper has 5.0  5.1 has everything 5.0 has and some new
stuff.

	Cisco has

	12.0
	12.1
	12.2

	12.2 is 'newer' in a way, but in no way contains everything
contained in previous versions.
