I guess my take is different. I don't purchase anything based on futures (whether announced or just anticipated) - I bought my ReadyNAS for the features they had at the time. I plan to use them for several more years, and honestly don't think that Netgear has any obligation to back-port the new products' OS to the old platforms. I get why people would be upset over features that don't work properly (like Photos II), but I think that is different from than feeling entitled to an OS upgrade.

I understand, but the thing is, that they just told us not to expect any care for our NAS, with all the missing features, bugs and decrepit Debian version installed...

I bought my nas for the features and for the community behind (with add-ons, support, etc.). I only have an ultra4, but i'm feeling for those that bought a Pro6 last month, and have 5 years of warranty without any software developpement behind...
