Microsoft axe'ing Xbox Orginal Games on Xbox Live

So apparently server space is being freed up for something else (Natal maybe? ) and the xbox original games are being nixed off of the downloadable content on Live. April 15th is when the hammer drops. Xbox Live's "Major Nelson" Larry Hyrb wrote:

I wanted to let you know that on April 15, 2010 Microsoft will discontinue Xbox LIVE service for original Xbox consoles and games, including Xbox 1 games playable on Xbox 360. Our first step in this process will be to turn off auto-renewals for those members who only use Xbox LIVE on a v1 Xbox. While I can't comment on the specifics, this change will allow us to continue evolving the LIVE service with new features and experiences that fully harness the power of Xbox 360 and the Xbox LIVE community. We did not make this decision lightly, but after careful consideration and review we realize that this decision will allow us unprecedented flexibility for future features.

I personally couldn't give a hoot. Bring on the new stuff!! I wanna download ALL of my games in the future.
