Makes me think of a plumber who replaces the heating in my house and uses standardized material that will no longer be the standard within a couple of years, because all plumbers have decided to replace the old standard with a new one.

My clients already know. If they want to change, I will help the new programmers do the conversion.

You shouldn't jump to conclusions:)
