One real world example: Konni got her first official g++ 2.95 at work about a week ago. Standard desktop is still SuSE 6.1 there. This is from the time of Redhat 5.2 or so. And people are very reluctant to upgrade anything, let alone crucial things like OS or compilers. That's the world of the typical institutional LyX user. Don't ask my what kind of pain it was to provide her with a setup that works with 1.2.0cvs to have somebody testing new mathed with "regular work". Believe me. No fun.
