I doubt if Atari are going to buy this idea, nice though it is. I would prefer
if they started shipping out complete fixed images to subsiduaries now. Just
like they did with TOS1.6 when they found some real showstopping bugs.

The bugs must be in fixed ROM version 1.5 at Atari so why not?

Yup! Me too! But I would love an \auto path to make our 21 TOS1.0 ST lab
a bug free one.

The general concensus of opinion here is that TOS 1.6 would have been better
called TOS1.4E. Unless of course 1.4 is the end of the road for us old ST
owners and future revisions will only be for STE's.
