I have been sent 5 years into the future to agree with this suggestion (see

What does 2005-Mike-Schmidt's future self think?

A transition period would be in order, to prepare software and educate non-IGS 
users (so as to end up wanting to travel into the past to undo the decision).

Not that I know of :)

Have used it with some frequency under linux, albeit not for
GPS data or prods.  No adverse experiences.  Works.
