"Should" being the operative word here. Yes, it should be done but at 
one's leisure so far, not in anticipation of anything disappearing 
TOMORROW as the egomaniacs are intimating. It's a logical, meaningful 
progression of technology; what gets my goats are the egoes running 
around intimating the end of the world if you don't make the change 
yesterday; they aren't just trying to educate ... far from it.
    Too many people are put off by the "must do" attitude which contains 
no useful information; only that it's going to be the end of the world 
for everyone which is clearly not the case. Yes, in time it's 99.9% 
likely to occur as expected but ordering people to stop using something 
has absolutely no benefit to it. Nor does it ingratiate a single person.

And a logical, reasonable bit of pro-activity from the PTB.

I'll buy that. Out of all the posters in this thread, you're the one 
making the most sense and keeping logic and "people" in mind. That's 
something too many people miss out on these days.

Well said!

I'm not going to say much more if anything at all on this thread; my 
only intent was to bring some sanity to it and negate the armegeddoners 
wasting so much time on the way they think they can order people around. 
That sort of leadership NEVER works for long.
