Yup, this.

Same song and dance as USB 1.1, USB 3, USB C, Lightning Cables (relative to iPod dock connectors), and all of our evolving standards. It sucks for a year or two and we move on.

For the purposes of WPA transitions, I’m willing to bet slick dual hand routers will support WPA2/3 split between each channel.

Which means you really dont have the additional security of WPA3.

Very true. I don’t think we have a better option though. Like a lot of standards updates you have to cycle from old to new. Cutting support for old SSL cyphers/versions/certificate key requirements without a notice and replacement implementation period would be painful and disasterous.

I turn off whatever insecure protocols exist on my router and will do the same once everything I care about can do WPA3. Getting the population at large to do the same is difficult. I’ll evangelize the benefits of switching, but the best way to loose support is to break use cases by pushing people onto something that prevents their positive device experiences.
