But how can we trust those words, if you already broke those words, despite your
corporate values and such? Sorry Jake, but apart from changing the stud
dimension LEGO committed one of the worst mistakes any such company could make
and it seems it hasn't learned from it. Like Jojo said, you slap us and then
again afterwards, just to make sure the point comes across.

Look at how for instance model railroading companies introduce changes. Marklin
decided to stop making the old Marklin M track (the metal bedding) around 1990
if memory serves me correct. However the supplies lasted for several more years,
solutions were introduced so people could transfer gradually etc etc.
