The same mistake plagues 10baseT and 100baseTX today.
But, this is fixed with 1000Base-T, and works just fine with 10Base-FL,
100Base-FX, 1000Base-SX/LX/ZX, and other fiber ethernet
interconnects. :) Even connecting 10 and 100Mbit (copper) equipment to
a 1Gb switch works whether or not you have a crossover cable.
