Because it's always been that way here. That's what we suggested when new skins and layouts were rolled out years ago.."Why not let us keep the old ones too?!"

But I can tell you what the response will be: it takes too many resources to maintain an "old" feature. Unfortunately Wikians are never asked about whether or not they want a new feature, and then we get one that not necessarily a majority wants.
