You are right, I can get all the necessary hardware for that. That is not a problem, problem is that I can't have that when I need it. Imagine you go to a meetup and would like to show some older presentations and you are not aware of the issue. Well, bad luck - nothing to show, no quick fix by downloading a conversion tool or older version of the software.

I'm not saying that it is permanent problem, there is solution for it for sure. It is just unnecessarily cumbersome and mostly unexpected: I can imagine dropping support for files from 1995 not for files from 2008.

I think that's the key most people are forgetting here. You're talkng maybe 5 years ago, even more recent. When you go back 10+ years it's not unreasonable to expect some drop in support. But 2 versions is way way too quick!!
