For backward compatibility: even modern query server still able to serve for 0.8+ CouchDB there was only map/reduce functions. Other design functions was introduced only in 0.9 release with stand alone commands and at 0.11 they was refactored to be as subcommand for "ddoc". However, that's my own opinion why so - probably actual developers are able to give you more correct answer. To track all query server history, you may take a look at Python one[1] - there was implemented support for all CouchDB versions within single server and all their differences are well described.
