>>Since you’ve probably twitted me you probably won’t get this, but in any case I still don’t understand your reply. It doesn't make sense. I’m not trying to aggravate you or be argumentative, just to understand.
If you are, as you say, not recompiling, not doing any testing etc then you are not doing any development. So why is an upgrade discussing even relevant to you at all?

They have no desire, now, to start recompiling and upgrading: no matter how many assurances you want to give them, they simply will not do so without a few weeks of regression testing. And, frankly, I don't blame them one bit. They have a responsibility to their clients to keep things up and running, they want to be known as a robust software, and their QA head has some very stringent guidelines about what goes out the door.
