Sure it is. That's how the protocol was designed. I can't complain about providing a new API that can be used to better effect, but shutting down the existing API on a moment's notice just isn't kosher. There's nothing wrong with the existing API that makes it necessary to do away with the way Cox did. For years Cox insisted that BPF was not useful and refused to put it in - that's why I support the API I currently support.
The parallels to Microsoft's way of doing business are positively uncanny.
