Yes, but like has been discussed earlier there is "upsell" money to be made via topper code since it convinces buyers to part with more money on a now "must have" add on item.

Stern should just start charging for code updates and be done with it. That way they will at least be financially motivated to redirect dedicated internal resources to finishing the code in a timely manner (instead of this piecemeal reactionary approach typically when forum rumblings get too loud).
