How I see it:

Pharo team wants to perform deep changes into the system.
Pharo team wants to perform those changes fast, and not be swamped like
they think squeak is
(it sure was! but let's say that Squeak values backward compatibility which
is naturally a drag).

It might be difficult/take a long time to find a way to perform these
changes in a reproducible way in customers' images.
So the philosophy it let updateStream tools available, but do not bother
with update stream if it's too difficult.
It's without any guaranty and I often saw it fail (once every few dozens of
updates...)

I'd say keep it as is.
