Yeah, that makes sense. If it's starting to bite them in the butt, though, maybe they should start relegating that stuff to emulation, if they can write a good enough emulator.

I don't know when. Maybe it's already gone by, maybe it's in the future. But there's probably a point in time when all of that backward compatibility stops being worth it.
