Is it that expectation of major updates coming in at a fixed cycle? Not only expected by upper management but also by end users? That's a difficult trap to get out of. I wonder if that will be the key benefit of Google's switch to two "major" Android releases each year: it will get people used to nothing newsworthy happening within a version increment. And I also wonder if that's intentional, and my guess is not the tiniest bit.
