Sometime the good will generated is worth the minor expense.

Remember a lot of this problem is the direct result of vendors not
acting soon enough and that includes CISCO.  Asking those vendors
to do a bit of work to fixup the results of their bad decisions is
not unreasonable.  They can't fix hardware limitations but they can
definitely fix software limitations.
