because I think that if it does not have playing strength advantages less people
are going to buy it.
If Fabien does not release fruit2.3 that is significantly stronger than 2.2 soon
then I expect him to have less buyers in the near future.

If Fabien decides to release significatly stronger Fruit2.3 soon then
it is Fabien's decision if to release Fruit2.3 as a free update or to sell it as
a new product.
