Precicely. Or even more precicely - the RE team provided an alternative
path to eliminating floppy support which they could cope with. It follows
that people who want floppy support should work towards that because the
other option:

	 you tell RE team that they had better shut up and make it work

is not workable becuase they have no compulsion to listen to your and
could just walk away any minute they bloody well want anyways. It thus
follows that some persons out of the "we want floppy support to stay
around" had better start volunteering to be floppy maintainers.
