Most of us who have solved the problem that they created usually did so by not embracing the problematic systems. The “vast improvements” that Shimano made by introducing incompatibility into their line wasn’t all that vast nor much of an improvement. Granted they are going to fix the problem but let’s not let them off the hook for creating the problem in the first place.
Shimano didnt create this problem. You and others(at times me included in this) are upset that not all Shimano products are interchangeable. Shimano never promised all products would be compatible, but here you are claiming they created this problem 10 years ago and you still havent come to terms and moved on.
