It seems unlikely to me: developers have power these days and their voice, threads like this, appear on radars of management. Even if some pencil pusher 'decided' something, there is no real way out in my opinion. This will probably be reversed and they really have issues because of the .net foundation fall out: as much as I wish to be 25 again, this is not the 90s anymore.

I agree. They can lock in some users, but not that many. Their monopoly power is gone and it seems gone for good.
