I'd rather see the burden of forwards compatibility placed on upgraders. ++If only... This pseudo-ideal of perpetual backward compatibility is a chain around the neck of software development. Imagine if new cars still had drum brakes & leaf springs; 4-speeds & no synchromesh; manual windows, AM radios & 8-track stereos; cast iron blocks, carburators & distributors with rotor arms. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
