Commission Junction link change

I don't do a lot of affiliate marketing myself, but I thought this was interesting:

Quote:

On June 23, 2006, JavaScript links will become Commission Junctionâ€™s default link type. However, we will continue to offer Legacy links through the beginning of 2007. The Legacy links will be available for all your advertiser relationships, including those joined to before and after June 23, 2006. Although you will have the option to use Legacy links, we encourage you to start using our new JavaScript links to take advantage of the benefits planned as part of the LMI. At this time we have not scheduled a date for which the Legacy links will no longer be available or supported. We will notify you at least six months in advance of making this change and will not require the change during the 2006 holiday season.

I see a lot of potential issues with this change. What are your thoughts?

There is a petition going around, alot of people are against it.
Personally it doesnt bother me but I know people with many sites are cringing at the thought of changing all their links.

exactly. People who have sites built around affiliate links thru cj are going to have a lot of work ahead. Plus, what's the plan for email? Anybody know?
