A simple heads up to the vendors might be enough or like I said, put in a
shoot yourself in the foot option for retaining old behaviour and remove
it in X amount of time which gives commercial software companies some room
to manuver around in. We have to remember they can't move/change as fast
we do. We need them as much as they need us if they even want to consider
a non MS alternative.
Okay, anyone want to step up and as liason between kernel developers and
commercial userland Linux producing companies?
