I suppose this needs repeating from time to time. One byte of disk
space costs .00000000008065817067$ on the best-selling hard drive
around here. Even if there were 100 million Fedora users (which is a
huge overestimate AFAIK), that is $0.008 for all Fedora users
together. Compare to a tens of minutes, or hours, per affected user
that needs to update their system. Disk space at this scale just
cannot be a reason to drop legacy interfaces. (There might be other
arguments, such as maintenance manpower.)

Is that another way of saying that "only broken things need fixing"? :)
