I have a feeling that the “ancient convoluted code base” that exists for backwards compatibility isn’t convoluted or hard to maintain at all; rather the new features are, because they include everything and the kitchen sink, as necessary for the big new websites.
Plus it’s only backwards compatibility due to the feature creep of modern days. Otherwise it would be simply the support of current features.
