Yes, the evolution of design!~

That's what we get in "real" life. We evolve and keep building on the old, outdated antiquated base. Eventually, we DO drop the old altogether but it takes ages sometimes. Too much is invested in the old systems to throw them out.

(and speaking of dependencies ......... THAT is something to look for when observing something which doesn't make any sense. Is there ANY tiny reason why something seemingly foolish, is still "allowed" to remain? Does anything else depend on it?)
