"but I don't see the old "well too bad" coming up in the near future."
Wish I could be as optimistic as you, FlyGoddess. Unfortunately, recent history indicates that a small, loud minority gets to determined policy on public issues time after time.
Of course you're right, precautions should be taken. But they have to be balanced against the reality of economics. And "phased out" is a rather nebulous term. TU's agenda, for instance, only gives us a two-year window. And, as we've seen, the major wader makers are scrambling to comply.
