    Yes, but it will only be officially supported for up to and including 4.x. After that, Android will be Flash-free, too.

    The first 250k already paid the staff (quotes from https://buy.louisck.net/news ):

    the first 250k is going to pay back what the special cost to produce and the website to build.

    The second 250k where extra bonus cash for his staff:

    The second 250k is going back to my staff and the people who work for me on the special and on my show. I'm giving them a big fat bonus.

    So he actually made 750k. That's a huge chunk of profit after investing 250k in my book.

    And this is acceptable why? My understanding is that 6.0 gets offered as an update for the previous 5.5.x AU by the automagic updater, is that correct?

    IPv6 is implemented, just not configurable.

    I'm sure slashdot readers are entirely unaware of what goes on when a program is rewritten.

    You rewrite it behind the curtains, maybe release beta-versions for testing and bugfixing, and, when it's finished, push it as a major-version-update?
