Good luck.
Deliberately throwing out content that might have useful information in it, that’s not too wise, imho. Better to keep as much as we can, and stop worrying too much about whether we like the format or not. And what Apple is doing violates Postel’s Law which says you should be liberal in what you accept. Another reason Postel was wise. It helps keep the web from breaking.
A reminder that now that Apple’s market cap is bigger than Microsoft’s we have to think about what it does differently. If Microsoft had decided to outlaw a popular format, no matter how much we may not like it, we’d look at that as an anti-competitive move. Why should we look at it any differently if it’s Apple?
Update: You can view what Apple has done as linkrot, but on a massive scale, and it was deliberate. Linkrot is usually accidental, but this was deliberate. If Microsoft had done this, the very same people who are defending Apple so fiercely would be (virtually) marching on Redmond with torches threatening to burn it to the ground.
