This has already changed back and forth three times in my
savings career.  The principle of "tax diversification" suggests
investing in different tax vehicles to weather changes.

Anyways, many of longer term investors have had to invest
in alternative savings.   Tax deferred limits were rather
small until the mid-1990s, and too small now for six figure incomes.
Its recommended one save 15% for all needs.
