Sometime the good will generated is worth the minor expense.
Remember a lot of this problem is the direct result of vendors not
acting soon enough and that includes CISCO. Asking those vendors
to do a bit of work to fixup the results of their bad decisions is
not unreasonable. They can't fix hardware limitations but they can
definitely fix software limitations.
