No, but the further along the deployment curve you get, the more seriously you have to examine changes. We're far enough along that changes have to be made with the utmost of conservatism, and have to be made under the premise that backward compatibility can no longer be sacrificed. In other words, yah, we kind of have to accept that a large chunk of the end nodes are going to run XP for the foreseeable future. -- Perry E.
