At this point I think the only real reason for the upgrade to 11.2 is that bondware replaced sm's phone home utility with their own (maybe more invasive - it seems so if it's calling home more frequently) and redirected to their servers, The extra content was a bribe and distraction:) I do think this was not quite ethical, consumers should have been given an option to keep their 11.1 running as is, and the lacking explanation of what was going on (no release notes for example) indicate a not serious concern with transparency. As for SM - we gave our money to them and they're now out of the country. How convenient.
