I kind of want a print of this to hang up proudly in my office above my 2016 15" MBP.

Also, wouldn't the last year shipped for a SuperDrive equipped Mac technically be 2016? The 13" MacBook Pro (non-retina) hasn't been updated since 2012 but it was still for sale on the Apple website until this last keynote.

It is interesting the headphone jack is the only port that has been consistent throughout the years.

Aahhh, I even forgot about the ADB!

BTW, they don't list changing stuff like Thunderbolt (1), Thunderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt 3. And wasn't FireWire in two incarnations too?

I understand the ambiguity about the new 4 TB3/USB-C setup, but man, that is going to be sooo sweet once we're past the initial growing pains.

In a couple of years the MBP will have multiple different ports again as new standards emerge. Then all those ports will be replaced by a single Thunderbolt 4 / USB-D. Then it will be donglemania again.
