This is tiring. The text is so vague, and if a big country adopts it software companies will comply, and there's no reason to why smaller ones wouldn't, since 'the work is already done'.

I wonder if it would be illegal for an user to use an outdated system without those functions when they roll out, or to use outdated applications, or to distribute outdated applications, or to keep mirrors of multiple versions of operating systems. I doubt they thought that far, or if they care at all.

If they are smart about it, they probably wont make older systems illegal but will merely let other parts of tech advance to the point that old systems become practically useless online. Like running a PowerPC mac online today, yeah you can just barely do it but very few do.
