Because it's a reduced version able to only deal with WMS. It has been created like this to speed up the loading of the preview page > Does this reduce the functionality of OpenLayers?

Not sure in detail what will happen, I believe you might miss an icon so keep around the old files as well somewhere. But yeah, I don't exactly know what will happen, you'll have to try for yourself. I believe it should work just fine past a few minor adjustments here and there.
