Sometimes it’s better to just cut it off and start fresh/try something else. If the team has extra time for a kind of TLC update, great! I’d love to see some overhaul here and there…and maybe a removal of needlessly complicated things…but until they have that kinda budget/dev team, I’d rather they keep doin what they’re doin.
Arguably, old systems are obsolete and rarely used because the devs don't do anything with them after release, they could release them flawed and leave them to rot, or have a great release that becomes dated as they don't get new things, but leave these to rot instead of improving and refreshing them.
