CART cocked that one up though by introducing a new pop-off valve rule mid-way through a season to appease one manufacturer, then found that 3/4 of their engine suppliers promptly left the series. I don't think it's really fair to draw comparisons between that and F1's current predicament.

The pop off valve had been in use for a few years to controle power, but it was constant tinkering with the rules (seem familier) that created unrest and forced the manufacturers out.
