I know that is the current rule. But any rule is subject to change with
good reasoning.
I think the original proposer of removal was too focused on "removal"
and forgot to put good reasoning to do so. my complain is there. My
frustration is hapless PR by Hitachi.
In my honest assessment, Hitachi has not much chance to win their claim
of right. At the same time, no one wishes to bother themselves to
maintain the right to keep using them either. Life has better thing to
do.
