The sad thing about these new bulbs is that the uninformed or low-information public do not realize the hazards of these bulbs, and yes, they will end up in our landfills and over time guess what will happen. I think these bulbs are disasters waiting to happen - and someone mentioned that if they break having to use a hazmat team is over exaggerated- would you want to take the chance of getting mercury poisoning? - and people will. I think this is another example of government run amok. I will never use these bulbs if I can help it.
