If this actually happens, I love the fact that Autodesk created this problem for themselves on the Siggraph show floor, where they always think they are king.
The other funny part is, they could have screwed us just like they did, but if they handled it far different (meaning with humility and care), this may not have become such a shit storm. OK, it still would have, but we perhaps wouldn't be discussing things like this (and hopefully doing them)... They are doing the equivalent of walking along a wooden bridge with an automatic rifle, just shooting at the wood in front of them, thinking it will get rid of Softimage as well as impress everyone else with the fireworks, but all it is doing is weakening the bridge and the bridge will eventually snap.
