Do I go with Broadwell or Skylake, hmmm.......
.... and the extra pin on Socket 1151 will mean having to buy an entire new set-up.

If Skylake supports DDR4, and Broadwell only supports DDR3 then it'd make sense to change the socket slightly in order to ensure no-one makes the mistake of mismatching things.
It seems to be reasonable.
I dont think its that bad anyway. The CPUs they make are powerful and you dont need to replace them often. By making you to replace whole system, they make you to think twice before you do it. So in more cases you will wait a generation or more.
At that time you has to replace your CPU because you need more performance, you anyway have to replace the whole stuff.(i am assuming that you want top performance as you are considering upgrade to the new Intel processor when it just comes out)
They may hurt themselves more than us, i already skipped 3 processors i would buy if i had compatible socket.
But in reality my i7 no need upgrade at all.
There is another view for this as well, making new sockets make them forget about the legacy, they can move one without looking back and that is huge issue.
Another thing is, why the graphic cards are not customizable at all? They are just an computer, they have the GPU, memory, chipset and mainboard.
No one blames them for being preassemble.
