There's something to be said for the MSFT approach of your code will run forever. I understand there's tradeoffs, but there's something to be said for it.

Pointing a bunch of whiny users at devs -- some of whom gave code away for free -- is not awesome for the ecosystem. IMO.

Backwards compatibility is a very tangible benefit in the long term.
