Seems like a tough decision for such a short time...  There were some great
points on both sides so far, but I'm missing the math. To evaluate the
cost/benefit for a decision like this we should be able to estimate how
much engineering time does it take for us to gain 1.2% new users and how
much does it cost to keep the support. My personal estimation for the first
is pretty high :(

We also might miss the opportunity to gain new users on these systems, and
we risk a bad press as well, but I'm a little less concerned about these. I
just feel like there should be some other way to save engineering time that
costs less users but without the metrics I can only guess.
