I am experiencing a similar problem. One of our customers want to use a version of our software that was released in 2004 as it has been running in a number of their other stores since then and so want to have them all the same, fair enough I guess. However, the software has a small bug that prevented it from working with their new system. As a result I had to make a new build of the three year old software to release to them (the fix consisted of changing just one character from more than 100,000 lines of code). Of course we need to continue supporting this old version. If they find it has other problems in the future, they need to realise that in 3 years many bugs have been fixed and new features introduced. Fixing them in the 3 year old version is not a good solution.
So if you want to use something old, you can, but don't complain if it doesn't work with stuff that never existed when it was created. Could Holden fit ABS to an FJ?
