You are falling into the same old trap.  Support calls are not the only
cost involved with supporting the product.  Back-porting fixes, testing,
QA, etc.  are also a big part of the cost that doesn't fluctuate with have
much you call.  We are talking about keeping the same major version of
software for 5 years and keeping it secure and stable.  I'm sure there is
a "break even" cost associated with calling support, but the isn't the
whole picture.
