Yes, being somewhat informed, I've deliberately stuck with a 1.* version of ADE at the moment - but I don't know how long it will be before that stops working. Adobe may have backed down for now on their plan for big changes - weren't they initially slated for implementation around the middle of this year? (from memory) - but I doubt that will last forever.
And in the more general and looking-to-the-future sense, the average reader has no easy way of knowing whether a locked book may be opening the door for spyware. Some people find that pretty creepy. Obviously, the publisher might decide that this is not enough to influence their decision on digital locks; but it's another point to be raised in the pro/con discussion.
