Many of us have figured for years that "It" might happen. After all...I learned long ago to never say never.
But despite the same self assured predictions year after year after year, not only has "It" not happened, it now appears that it may very well be a few more years before "It" has a chance of happening. So I don't see the point in fretting about "It" right now.
But even if "It" does come to pass (in whatever form "It" ends up taking). I highly doubt that "It" will have the effect some seem to think it will.
And regardless of what does/doesn't happen with "It", (like many) I'll enjoy having access to the varied (and possibly growing) equipment choices that have come our way during the last several years.
