happens all the time, in different ways. so what. user migration is a 
healthy thing.

imagine all those people used to open source  and honest communication 
and no bullshitting, and they suddenly flood the support channels of 
$YOUR_FAVOURITE_CLOSED_SOURCE_BOGEYMAN, letting them know in no 
uncertain terms that they don't care if their support chat bot is a 
boob-job blonde called "charlene" (don't laugh, that's what 
hewlett-packard had me believe when i tried to explain to them that 
their windows scanning software shouldn't be hardcoding C:\Documents and 
Users\ as a home directory prefix).
rather, they will tell them that this is a one-liner and why can't it 
just be fixed, like, now?

call me a nutcase, but i like this idea :D

might as well go the other way: vendor falls in love with jack so much 
that s/he can't be bothered to implement ASIO anymore :)
