Hehe… in my case, it seems to be partially true. While I still love RPN calculators (my favorite being the HP48GX and HP42S), I have really enjoyed the Prime -- and never really even used the RPN mode in the Prime.

Interesting idea...
It makes sense after all.
If one starts to get RPN improvements on new firmware releases, people soon will want more, like RPL. This would lead the Prime in the wrong direction.
Remember what is the target market for Prime.
Besides us old dogs, how many young people still use RPN these days anyway?

Obviously the Prime nature and goals are totally different, so I am not that shocked to find such a minor drawback in RPN mode.
But I agree that this is a frustrating situation. Look to the positive side of it: now we have a reason to wait for the next update!
