I believe the answer depends on your definition of "something better".

".82" most probably means a release of the distribution created and 
still maintained by the OLPC project, targeted specifically for the XO 
laptops.

The "better" thing might be the official successor to that release, done 
by same organisation.

The "better" thing might be to abandon that distribution and switch to 
some alternative.  The "better" alternative might be SoaS, it might be 
Debian, it might be Ubuntu, it might be...


Did you already decide that SoaS is your preferred successor, and all 
you ask is _when_ SoaS will be stable enough for you (perhaps you then 
need to clarify what parts you depend on and what you can let go of)?

Or do you ask the SoaS developers if their system is "better" than those 
of their competitors (a somewhat rhetorical question, I believe)?

Or did you ask _all_ distributors of Sugar which is considered the 
"better" alternative to the dated ".82" provided by OLPC?
