Perhaps, but the point is Apple *did* announce it to the world *before*
making the change. If some folks didn't bother to listen, that's their
problem.

Supporting AFP doesn't mean AFP will be enabled by default. And since we
don't know the details regarding how he was trying to connect to it,
there's a lot of potential for fuckups on his end.

Same here. I just tried connecting to afp://server (which is my home
server running Yosemite) and it worked fine, albeit a little slower than
the default SMB connection.
