We're not forcing anyone into upgrading. Older versions continue to
work, and many people still use those. People who already upgraded
and needed a cross-version scriptable mechanism can already use
"-f/dev/stdout" as Justin documented in this thread's OP. People
upgrading after next week release set can use "-f-". People not
upgrading soon can keep their scripts for a while yet.
I think this teapot doesn't need the tempest, and nobody's drowning in
it anyway.
