Sites which use the admittedly limited images provided by the old-style 'current-event' solution will have allowed for this. Though of course, more sizes could be provided. Also the HTML could include links to multiple events. So I don't see those as critical issues. Projects should not be forced to change unnecessarily. Of course if they wish to use the replacement solution they can do so. And can be encouraged to do so as part of any site redesign. Note that the new solution uses Javascript. There is no fallback for browsers that don't support Javascript. This may be a problem for some assistive readers.
