I wonder this a bit, too, and I am even somebody who _likes_ the new
behavior. But there is a difference between "should have been designed
this way in the first place" and "is currently designed some other way,
and will cause pain to switch it to this way."

So it might simply not be worth the trouble to change. OTOH, I think
this is how we end up with many commands to do slightly different
things, which can end up confusing new users. I'm not sure what the
right answer is.
