No one is proposing that new features show up in old eggs.  Old eggs,
once released, will never change.  Even serious bug fixes result in a
new release, not an update to an old egg.  If you don't want upgrades,
do not update your eggs.  Felix did not change this nor are we
proposing that it is changed.
