Sure, this is the way. It's not sustainable if enough people do it though.
I used to worry about rim brake rims, but I think that's not really going to be a problem for a long time. My new worry is cable actuated brake levers. I really don't want to go back to DT or bar end shifters.
Every once in a while, the industry comes up with a change that I find compelling, like wider rims. I have some wheels with narrow rims that I should get rid of, but I wonder if anyone would want them.
