It´s not always that simple, but sometimes it is. The code to do the Unix accounts was legacy code back from NeXT days and it was left in for years and years because it was easy to just leave it there. Periodically it would break as we changed things in the app but it was never a big deal to fix. Over time, though, it became slightly a bigger deal and eventually it reached the point where we felt that the time invested in maintaining it wasn´t worth the reward so we removed it.
