The problem is that the New Compiler is not really in a better state than the old compiler. Of course it has more objects and is much easier to extend, but all in all it is a mess too. This is mostly due to the fact that the system below it changed quite a bit in the past years (pragmas, properties, closures, primitives, new bytecodes, ...) and that the New Compiler had to be patched and changed quite heavily to accommodate these new requirements that it was not designed for. Maintaining and fixing the New Compiler got so extremely expensive that it is questionable if this is still a viable platform? Ask Jorge and Marcus.
