Okay - but my method is about as valid as Ralf, because he does not
find the commands confusing, making the claim that they are not
confusing, for everyone.

Just because you and he, do not find the commands confusing, does not
mean that you two represent ALL of the users of Linux, past and
present.

I am only one of many, who have found the commands confusing, which is
why the questions about whether those two (dist-upgrade and
full-upgrade) will institute a version upgrade, keep occurring on this
list.

If people simply want to, purely for the sake of it, deny something
that exists, that is your prerogative.

However, it would be far more beneficial, to fix the problem, than to
take the easy option of simply denying that the problem that has
repeatedly been shown to exist, exists.

And, the opportunity has arisen, for people to suggest improvements to
the apt command.

Why try to suppress them, simply for the sake of it?
