This isn't a flame, so please don't take it as such:
Products evolve.
As noted by another poster, sometimes it's per the spec.
(SingleThreadModel, anyone?) Other times, it's just a necessity.
(Perhaps the lead dev on a given feature no longer has the time/energy
to support it, and no one else picked up the torch.)
Even commercial products make dramatic changes between releases, some of
them not well-documented. I've handled SunOS->Solaris, WebLogic 5->8,
etc. Some apps had to be rebuilt, even recoded, but frustrations were
kept to a minimum when we didn't expect slam-dunk-then-Miller-Time. ;)
