That's stupid. It is like finding a new traffic source that you know might only last 5 months but will take 2 minutes to set up and take advantage of. Do you a) forget it and leave money on the table or b) take advantage of the better situation that is available while it is available. Personally, I'd prefer not to have to worry about vulnerabilities for another few months (though even than it will be more secure) like I haven't had to worry for the past 6.
