To be honest, EoL screws me over more often at the EoS point, in terms of
"no, you can't buy any more X", especially when the X I was using has caught
fire.  Oh, and V2/V3/Vn WIC upgrades that require a jump of a train or two
(and all the attendent regression testing) from where I was in order to get
them working.  Upgrading IOS when nothing is broken (or at least, nothing
that affects you) hurts, especially when there's nothing on the revised card
that especially benefits its current use :(

Regards,
Tim.
