I didn't say they shouldn't offer old versions of anything.  I said I 
don't know why they offer an old version of _that_ instead of expecting 
people to get the latest from Oracle.

Yes, I was born a few years before that.  And it wqs 10.6.  Providing 
that made sense for a while, and even still for people who refuse to
