Comment 86 for bug 156085

to Scott (and others):
>/proc/bus/usb has GONE.
>It has been marked deprecated for over a year...
>Code should be changed

I will tell thou a clever thing, only don't get offended.

With each such incompatibility you lose 3% of users.
If you have only two users, it's not even a whole number,
so there is no problem. For 30 users, it may be explained
as a personal choice. And if you were employed by a
capitalist with at least 1K customers, that capitalist
would wash your brains after 2nd found incompatibility.
But you are a free developer...
Well, each lost user is extra $90 in Bill Gates' pocket.
Please think, how immoral it is to give away other
people's money to a rich guy!

Now, a real story.
The GCC guys changed the C++ compiler (4.2) so that it is
incompatible with 3.4. Some projects cannot be compiled
(warnings as errors), while others (warnings ignored)
compile but crash at run-time. (Example: SUN's CLDC.)
VMWare tools, another example, also could not be
fully compiled, and the distribution included a broken
package (!). So I tried 8.10 and decided not to use it.
Nor will I recommend it to anybody else. I use an old version.
