It's bad form, from a usability perspective, to have lots of ways to
achieve the same goal. It's reasonable to lead people from one place
where they often go and peek to try and get something done to the "right
place", but not to have two, totally different, ways to do something.
The same reason we don't ship evolution *and* thunderbird!

particular direction.
