I think the intent is that "con as a special filename in every directory" has
to go away - you'd still be able to use

copy c:\something\con filename.txt

(Remember, us Unix people have had to use /dev/tty and /dev/null and /dev/zero
for 3 decades, and never minded that 'tty', 'null', and 'zero' didn't exist in
every single directory)....
