What would you like to happen when your device is no longer the latest and greatest??

Understood, yet this is the way of device support in general, and Nokia has certainly made a good-faith effort to try and ease the pain of the users of older devices via the HE and support for issues and releases of new software like Canola.

The only problem with waiting for all OS versions is that it makes no sense to punish those who have devices that will work with it now, waiting for some future date when the old OS version is completed. If the situation were reversed and only the older OS versions worked you'd have the same whining, it'd just be from a different crowd.
As long as there is still a commitment to work the bugs out of the older OS versions I don't see a drawback in releasing immediately.
