If you tell people what you're doing ahead of time, explain things a lot,
you usually will win them over. If you change things that obviously make
problems and you don't give a heads up, they will hate you.
I'm not sure if there are 2000 ISPs using PM3s to begin with, and it's
safe to say that even if there are, only a fraction are having severe
problems, and if they stayed with stable release code, they would be fine.
