Well, I've kept up to date with the latest beta versions (currently 7.5.0), and 
I survive because my classic players have not been affected by touch-to-play 
(yet).

I avoid Radio and Touch interfaces because of silly decisions like the 
implementation of touch to play and the context menu, so the players are on and 
work, but I generally control them from the web UI instead.

If classic players ever took the backwards step to make consistent with 
Radio/Touch interfaces, I would seriously think that enough is enough and stick 
with the release prior to that point, or have to hack the code to unmerge that 
change.

I have that fear too.  I also have the fear that beta testers views are not 
taken seriously these days; users from focus groups are more instrumental in 
the future direction, and logitech managers are enforcing particular 
developments without first listening to feedback.
