I will admit that the day the first leaks were out, I was in a bit of despair that afternoon... wondering how I would contend to keep all that I had worked on and labored over. Then I realized I won't really lose any friends over this update. I also still have the toys and playthings I had collected / assembled / painted over the years and some of them have made a fabulous transition from previous editions (my 2nd Edition Human team is still blissfully unaware that there weren't human blockers for a spell ;)
The only constant is change - this game will grow with me. And I'm okay with that.

What you have to remember as you start getting older, is that the new world will be built for the young. ;)
You can stick with the old world if you like. But it will be an ever-dwindling parade of (probably grumpy) old bastards that share it with you.
As far as tabletop is concerned, you can just say "**** 'em". Stick with the old rules. Take any of the new rules that suit you. Though it could split your group either way.
Running two sets of rules probably won't be feasible for Fumbbl though. We're going to get some good options. We'll see if they'll be enough to make it work.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Ooh, look out you rock 'n' rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

Well written, Sir, you made me think of Edgar Allan Poe.
If you can, please write a poem with his style about the new rules, would be awesome to read.

My haiku to Halfabrain:
She said just a game.
He wept bitterly alone.
Sad no poo tossing.
