Look at it from this perspective: assume your bank and retirement
accounts and any stock transactions you have are managed by very
complex software sitting on top of the interfaces these distributions
provide.   Now how wild and crazy do you want the changes in those
interfaces to be?  How much do you want the fees you pay to increase
just to keep the same applications running with the same amounts in
the accounts as they showed before?
