Before calling someone a bastard, how about checking the past first.

ConsumerSockets
Slot 1: ~2 years
S370: ~1year
S423: ~1year
S478 ~3years
S775 (pre C2) ~3 years
S775 (post C2) ~2 years (ongoing)
S1156 few months (ongoing)

Server sockets:
Slot2 ~3 years
S603 ~1 year
S604 ~4 years
S771 ~2 years
S1366 ~1year (ongoing)


And thats only for intel.. amd switched socket far more often, due to the earlier introduction of the IMC, which requires a socket switch every time your switching memory or making significant changes to the platform.
