Not only is it much too late, I would say there is no possibility
whatsoever that they would have chosen a system that wasn't going to be
plug-and-play on the vast majority of consumer PCs.

Anything that MS didn't write (except maybe UDF, but there's probably
some reason it wasn't feasible, perhaps a reason measured in dollars)
would require a separate driver disk to use (Imagine MS putting drivers
for an open system on Windows Update - yeah right.)  So it wouldn't
really be an option.

A related issue: Given that the file system of the media needs to be
supported by all the future cameras, media players, et cetera, now that
the decision has been made, any advice to 'Just reformat' would only
work if the card is going to be only PC-to-PC.

Of course even if SDXC had gone with something else this bug would still
exist (because exFAT does), it just would not be as serious an issue.
