Ah, we are now in the realm of backwards compatibility.
Just like in programming, changing business processes
can be extremely difficult and expensive. That isn't to
say that it shouldn't be done, but you, as a lowly cog,
aren't really in a position to know all the consequences
of such changes, or their cost. There are people who make
their living doing nothing but organizing such changes,
and they earn their keep.
