4.4 is a different version to 4.3, not a patch or "service pack". Why is it so difficult for people to understand this basic premise? Just because it is touted as a point release doesn't make it one. See OSX, where if your hardware isn't 64-bit you don't get to run 10.7 or later with all the bugfixes that go along with the later versions unless you fork out for a new computer.

Even less want to buy a new phone because the only way to get a "fix" is to use a OS their current phone doesn't support. A car analogy is that you have to buy a new car because your current one doesn't have seat belts. They could be fitted, but it has been decided that they aren't going to be.

It's worse than that. They are saying that if you don't submit a patch with your bug report then you can fuck off, because they don't care. Even if you do submit a patch they'll only "consider" it, meaning when they feel like getting around to it. Which will be never, because *they don't care*.

The reason for "unless" is to remove the suspicion of guilt should it not be proven, whereas "until" maintains that suspicion forever, ignoring the trial finding of innocence.

Unless: "Let it go. It doesn't matter what you think, he was found not guilty" "Fine, but I'm not happy about it"
Until: "Let it go." "No way, that's not justice! I want a retrial! He's guilty, I tell you!"
