I wonder what happens when the current generation of droids becomes
obsolete? What happens to the vast army of droids that, oops, use a P3
instead of a P4? It'll be awfully embarassing for an alpha to just write
off the investment, especially if there's some littler nation around that,
gosh-darn it, hasn't been able to afford *any* P4 droids yet...
