I think you have a valid point. However, it has been answered before that a 
working mkcd between releases is not a priority. In fact it appears to be a 
distraction to keep it working. (This last sentence is my interpretation of 
what I have read here.)

So, while I agree fully with your sentiment and your desire, the folks in 
charge are (basically) not going to worrry about this issue until sometime 
shortly before a release of some sort.
