Ben,

Until lead was banned, you could depend on electronics to last a great deal longer than the warranty period, more so as semiconductor reliability and assembly technology greatly improved. It's truly been a remarkable evolution that the EU has throughly trashed, IMHO. 

I don't know of any user who will be happy to discover that there's going to be tin whiskers silently growing in their purchases, that we have no idea when they will sprout, if their eruption will spell the demise of their purchases or heal spontaneously to fail again randomly in the future. If it happens in an automobile or airplane, the word "warranty" will likely get a serious test in court. I, for one, hope that day comes sooner than later.

Isn't that what a warranty is for; to give you some idea of the expected life? 
Shouldn't the user be happy that the product survived for the expected duration?

Too many lead-free problems that have no good solution?  So people have given up trying to solve them? 
Perhaps management is happy if they ship stuff that fails after the warranty expires?

What is (not) going on?  No conversation. No problems. No fun stories.
Nothing at all. Technet's death-throes?
