Saying that everything people do needs to be backward-compatible is what leads to having to support IE 6.
I'm sure you had the foresight a year ago to know that they'd want to attach different covers in the future, why didn't you tell them?
- cmelbye 13y agoI mean come on, I'm not expecting 12 years of backwards compatibility, I'm just saying that maybe one of their hardware engineers might have said: "Gee, is it possible that we might develop a new cover next year that needs power, for a backlight or something? We're under a time crunch now, so we probably won't have time to take advantage of it yet, but maybe we could add a couple pins for power to future proof it?" It's absurd to consider that an impossible foresight to make.
