Two places I worked at, since the whole overblown issue came up had the same 
response by management: "If it ain't broke ...".
Plus, there are always other things to do.
Now, that IBM has backed off ...

Subject: Re: Old usercatalogs with IMBED and REPLICATE

I still have a few, very old, catalogs with IMBED and REPLICATE. Why?
That's what was "in vogue" when they were created. Why not recreate them?
Reverse it, why should I? If I do, then I have to make sure that I don't
mess up. And I must do it between 3 and 9 p.m. on a Sunday because that is
the only possible "gap" that I can use. And if I use too much time, people
will complain because they normally have that time to do things that they
want to do.  So I leave them alone because by converting the correctly buys
me _nothing_ and uses up my time. But make a mistake and it is Atlantis
submerging under the waves or Santorini exploding. Not worth the pain.

This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. If this had been an
actual emergency, do you really think we'd stick around to tell you?
