I did suggest it, yes.  Had you said "Such programs *would* have to be
changed ...", my response would have been different.  But you said "will",
which reads like you already decided such a change will be made.  Now it
sounds like it's undecided (OK by me either way, I'm just trying to locate
our current position on the map <wink>).
