Hey now, go easy. Lots of stupid decisions are made by "managers" who
don't understand the implications of old(er) technology.
I've got a 3.2-R machine which I'm forced to maintain, and the only reason
why it's not running 3.2-S or 4.2-S is because I can't take the stupid
thing offline. I've haggled with my boss for a 6 hour window and the
answer is no, no, no. I've even got a 3.2-S installation waiting in
/usr/obj.
The only way I'm going to get my 3.2-R machine upgraded (and the only way
this person is going to get their 3.0-R machine upgraded) is when it
breaks and requires a complete reinstall to become operational.
