I think even we need to be careful about making functionality assumptions based on USER-AGENT. I can think of a few scenarios where the example you provide would be counter-productive. The most obvious one is someone trying to learn more before upgrading. As a corrolary to that, I run my personal workstation much closer to the bleeding edge than the workstations I support. Most of them are still on breezy.
One place where I *do* see some benefit in sniffing the user-agent header is software downloads. But there's not much call for that because apt-get takes care of that issue for us. 8^) -- http USER-AGENT remains unused at h.u.c https://launchpad.net/bugs/54627 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
