Growing pains can be hard for those who can't/won't update but when
it's time to move on, it's time to move on. Maintaining code _is_ in
fact a chore that eventually becomes counter-productive once the user
base has diminished enough and/or it's become so outdated. Your
suggestions might not thrill other people but then who likes taking
their medicine?
