Hm, I've been annoyed with the constant need to upgrade since... forever. I usually don't see the benefit - seems to me, the gain is little. Not against progress, but the ever-shifting default when my needs don't evolve at the same speed... So I'm giving an un-informed and half-hearted "No, thanks, but ask those who actually care." If I can't watch with my current equippment, I won't watch until it breaks. I might upgrade software, but even that's a "might".
It's not really relevant to me, though, since I'm using exclusively streaming sites, and - if I'm not mistaken - they're worse quality anyway - to meet the lowest common denominator. I never once downloaded a video file to watch locally. I'm just not interested.
My sympathy lies with those who wish to remain with the old format for now, but I won't invest any emotional energy in the discussion.
