This would be valid IF there was a strong promise that the DOS port would be made functional again. But YOU never said that it surely will, quite the contrary YOU stated in the past that the port might never be revived. As the time passes, the chances that this port would be made to work again decrease, so it's natural that the restrictions for it are unwanted. So why suffer through them?
