The problem is that the old system was consistent, mostly. Anything that is
changed to do what we now recommend will appear not to work, but most people
won't realise that the bugs really lie in what's apparently been working for
ages.
And those of use who care about such things probably have configured our
setups to get it anyway, so won't know in what form the packages are
supplied.
