How can anyone be concerned about an upgrade to the gate system? You expect them to keep old technology simply because it still works? It's outdated and its functionality is limited. Software has to constantly be upgraded for numerous reasons. Besides, this upgrade sounds like it's going to save a ton of money on maintenance. As far as data goes, I can't imagine there is any real personal information on the access card, other than residential information that is publicly available anyway. My guess is the same people who would be concerned about an upgrade to the gate system are the same people who can't wait to get their hands on the latest iphone. I'm fine with the decision that's been made. By the way, I have one of the readers installed on my car, and I still don't have an issue with upgrading the system. The installed reader is not that great anyway. I find you have to be right on top of the receiver to get it to work. It's handy in the rain, I'll give it that, but I find I still use my card a lot of the time; and if it doesn't work after the upgrade, I'm out $20...big deal.
