Considering the enormous strength of 2.3.2a, 30 points would be a big achievement (Just like the improvement of HIARCS 12 is a big achievement.)

People will want the strongest engine available, even if it's just 20 elo stronger than the second one (and people will always complain no matter what.)

I did not say you had to sign up. If you casually glance at their forum, the rybka 3 question is "red hot".

You seem to assume that my time is free.
You are new to chess then or have missed these people who cry out for a new version only to complain that the newer version they have bought is not much stronger than the old version they had.

What would you do or say if you discovered version 3 is only 50 or 30 elo stronger than 2.3.2a?
Anyone with half a brain can see that I have been here since the forum moved, that alone is more than two years. You on the other hand is the one who has been here for only few days. I do not expect version 3 to be more than 50 points stronger and it does not bother me.
