If "typical Blue thinking of the age" is meant to be a sneer, I don't see it. If I thought a change I was proposing would involve a HUGE conversion effort, or a customer revolt - either one, to say nothing of both - I don't care how much better I thought it might be; it would have to be an optional addition, not a replacement.
