Using an Airport Disk for Time Machine has ALWAYS been an unsupported configuration.

Actually, Airport Disk was supported as described in this (now updated) support doc: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102423 In it, it states: "Time Machine can also back up to an external storage device connected to the USB port of an AirPort Extreme Base Station (802.11ac model) or AirPort Time Capsule on your network:"

I take it that you are not in favor of diversity then?

Or are you unable to present a convincing point of view and argue against opinions that you might disagree with? 

I think Wgkrueger was probably referring to the divisive jabs in the last paragraph of your original post.

So Apple's still selling the previous MBA for $999 just to have a bogus sub-$1,000 option. 

And to offer one last laptop with a decent keyboard!
