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.
