You don't get to lose data, right?

We treat that as very solemn responsibility.

And we're not a, you know, if you're a web-facing sort of web service or something and you can just do code change almost constantly and when you're, quote, shipping a new release, it just means that

something behind the scenes of your web page has changed, that's something, right?

But when you're operating mostly on appliances that have to be loaded, have to be updated, have to be checked, I mean, there's an amount of churn that's unacceptable to go.

So I don't see us going any faster than six months, but six months seems to be this nice cadence that just lines up.

But some customers that we're kind of almost calling our innovation customers are going to adopt every six months.

Maybe people will adopt in their test dev environments every six months and qualify releases.

But

You know, some of our customers who aren't sort of don't feel the need to be on that leading edge.

It's not bleeding edge because everything still goes through QA.

You know, everything still is a major release of on tap.

So but it's definitely leading edge.

Other customers may choose to just go once a year.

And, you know, Justin, I think you made the reference to every basically May and November, right?

So they are lined up to every calendar year Q2 and calendar year Q4.

And how that's coming out looking so far is every May and November.

And we chose that, you know, partially that's just where everything was lining up.

But yeah, there was some conscious decision there to try and line it up to May and November because May right now is when we kick off our new fiscal year and we train our new teams and we want to enable them with the new release of ONTAP so they can go out and start up conversations with customers.

as they finished off the fiscal year last month.
