That's the one thought I keep having during this whole thread.
Witness how the unchangeable firmware in some radios/TNC's, and
unchangeable software in some clients have crippled the evolution of
APRS.

Having one standard in North America has really been nice. It's not
a regulated standard though, so if something better comes along we
can easily change. The definition of "easily" is up to the reader:
Stations are still changing over to the new standard which is what,
four years old?
