Simple answer: The old version works and it had tons of mileage. When I 
asked for feedback on who's been using MC 1.5 and 1.6 I drew blanks from 
anyone but you and Matthew. When I then tried to see whether one of 
these versions could do everything that the current shipping version can 
do I ran into the issues described here:

The point being that if the new version can't deal with all the cases 
that the old version could, then it's probably not ready for adoption 
yet. If the issues listed above have been addressed since I'd be happy 
to repeat the experiment.
