No, what I meant was, "if almost nobody wants the ... behavior of old,
then [the non-trivial burden of recreating it] is not a problem, right?"
[As Stefan pointed out , the old behavior was really no simpler, so
using a term like "simple, straightforward behavior" to describe it, is
just rhetoric.]
Granted those people who actually notice the difference may have become
accustomed to the old behavior, however arbitrary, and may desire it for
that reason.
