Yup, it is stupid and I wish we would just go to Metric and be done with it.
I typically do not work on anything large enough for this change to affect me. Here is a conversion to put it in perspective:
3.28083333333 US survey feet per meter
3.28083989501 International feet per meter
0.000006' difference.
In 5,280' (1 mile) it will change 0.0317 feet. It is a rare day I am working with distances like that.
