parts necessary in "new-gray", build a mis-matching gray MOC, or be limited
to the realm of CAD.  In my opinion, that is the true problem with the color
discontinuity.  [IF] TLC was willing to release a very limited quantity of
"old-gray" service packs that made newer elements available every year, I
would be AFOL demand would be much higher for those than the existing
"old-gray" parts-baggies.

Sic est.
