  For users, there aren't any issues until about a year and a half from
now, if one sticks with "public" releases.  Developer releases will offer
opportunities to suffer sooner.

And it appears that with my old, slow Mac (8100/80), I may not care (that
is, the rumors suggest I may not be able to suffer should I want to).
