The HC2.0 vs System compatibility problems has one other aspect which is
notable: The new machines (Classic,LC,si) MUST runs system 7x6.07. Since
ONLY HC2.0 will run under 6.07 HC1.2x will NOT run on a new machine.
The upgrade situation is a real thorn for system administrators who would like
to stick with HC1.2x for performance reasons yet must run HC2 on some machines.
Also, for stack developers, the assumption that potential users will have 
HC2.0 is no longer valid. User's need a  compelling reason to upgrade (spend 
money) not just an interest in running someone's stack.
