Sometimes removing the old way is the improvement though. E.g. adding an alternative to symlinks doesn't help if symlinks are still allowed.

Why?

That way you break a lot of things.

You have to start somewhere. Strongly specialized programs that f.ex. never access disk and only access network are a good candidate to be tested in either restricted containers or brand new OS-es that carry legacy baggage.

It's doable, but nobody wants to put in the money, time and energy into pioneering it.
