The problem with the new vs. old streams seems to be that migration is unfinished even for the base image. Development already switched quickly to newer construction sites instead of finishing these old ones.
There are indeed several open issues with the new streams usage. I posted one on the handling of filing in fileouts by drag and drop. The issue I see with existing code is mostly that an object is used as a stream but is actually an information holder which understands much more than the stream protocol. Rewriting that code to use a streamHolder can be non-trivial. The fallback behavior of a readWriteStream opened on a read-only file is also not easy to get right. Stephan
