Guys, Shimano is not the anti-Christ, they act as all big businesses in their position do. The gripe is legitimate, but you are aiming your gun @ the wrong party.
Unfortunately that is true. We just have to hope SRAM can get a good sized market (keep) in order to stick around. competition is good for us but bad for shimano.
