Yup. Fragmentation is a problem whenever you have a diverse product base manufactured by different companies and used on different networks. Here we are, waiting for an OS upgrade that is already obsolete.
That comes with the ability to choose different interfaces and different hardware selections made by different vendors to meet a wider variety of specific needs. There's simply going to be no way you can have a diverse selection of hardware without some sacrifice in total compatibility with every possible upgrade. We learned that in the Personal Computer world, where lots of computers could not accept upgrades to the latest version of MS-DOS or Windows due to driver backports being unavailable or the hardware simply inadequate. Yet, there are those of us who still embrace the chaos because, within it, we can find the device we want that suits our needs the best, rather than dealing with the compromises of a homogenous "one-size-fits-all" solution where your only choice is how much memory you want.
