: What you count as "prior releases" is ONLY ONE INTERIM RELEASE:
: 2.0.5! 8859-1 locale isn't supported in 2.0 yet. 2.0.5 not treated
: as full release, it is only short term solution, so please stop
: talking about "prior releases" and of incredible amount of their
: users who wants backward compatibility.

2.0.5 is a release.  It walks like a release, talks like a release,
installs off a CD rom like a release.  It is a release.  Compatibility
with it must be maintained, imho.

If I upgrade from that to 2.1, and things break, I'm going to be very
upset.  I doubt I'll be alone.

Every other FreeBSD upgrade has just worked. 1.0 -> 1.1 -> 1.1.5 ->
2.0 -> 2.0.5.  (well, modulo the flock problems that were acknowledged
as a bug).  It is my expectation as a user that the 2.0.5 -> 2.1
release will go the same way.
