I'm afraid that it's rather the lack of manpower.
[And my inner conviction is that that state of things often
led to rush to cramming more code into existing components,
rather than "distribute" more uniformly according to subject
matters. When scarce human resources ("community") disappear,
cruft accumulates, sometimes up to stifle clean-up, maintenance,
improvement, and even development.]

It isn't any more than many other functionalities that were
introduced but shouldn't have been.
Depending on what the "Commons" PMC wants to favour ("code"
*or* "community"?), the choice is between continuing with the
accumulation, or back-pedaling through the creation of as
many *real* components as they are developers willing to
maintain them.

Sure.
The issue is somewhere else.
Note that, personally, I hadn't imagined that there would
be an issue for regular developers of [Lang] (or I wouldn't
have spent time reviewing the "details" ;-).
But I of course agree that the question should be asked; the
more so that, with [Math], we've a striking example of what
awaits a library that lacks boundary checks and explicit
road map.
