Thanks, jsapair, that was fascinating reading....all 6 pages of posts. There are a lot of positives in the new plan. The most important part is that after November 1, you will get all new ORBX products, patches, updates etc. via FTX Central 3. It sounds like upgrading to FTX Central 3, will require a one-time, permanent migration decision of your licenses from FSS. You have to make the one-time decision to migrate to FTX Central 3 if you want anything new from ORBX after November 1. In my opinion, the decision is pretty obvious since you have to migrate all your old products unless you want to permanently orphan some or all of your current ORBX products without possibility of patch in the future.
The only downside is that all of your current ORBX product backups will not be useable once you have migrated those products (the decision to migrate is all or nothing) to FTX Central 3. If you want backups, you will have to download them again (at your leisure) from ORBX (which owns your licenses after the migration).
It is worthwhile reading the posts since there has been enough interchange back and forth between the users and ORBX to provide a pretty good understanding of the upcoming migration details.
