I can understand that for compatibility reasons there will be no new package. But on the other side
at a certain point one has to go forward and leave some old things behind. (Apple is a great fan of that. One of the new MacBook Air models has only one USB C connection). Otherwise we would still be using computers based on vacuum tubes or programmed with punch cards or running on DOS.

Just my 2 cents
