Not literally, of course, in that one is of course free not to buy it.  But the mantra is presented as a facile refutation of people's complaints about 3.5, when in fact it does nothing to refute them.  If someone's complaining in the first place, then they obviously do not see themselves as being in the class of people who can choose to either convert or not without hardship.  The fact that such a luckier class of people (which clearly includes you) exists does nothing to address their problem.  To dismissively claim otherwise merely shows either lack of awareness (in the best case) or contempt for the needs of people other than oneself.I'm not trying to claim that many people won't be able to convert over just fine, or decide not to and also be just fine.  What I'm trying to do is to get people to stop and think, when someone comes along who does not believe they'll be able to do one of these things, "hey, I guess maybe you do have a problem there, even if I don't."  I think that would be much better than saying "if you don't like it, don't buy it."</blockquote>
