Mysterious. How the hell did that happen in a design 100+
years old?

They must have improved it.


In German there is the inofficial word "verschlimmbessern". It sums up
the action of "Here we have a working design but let's optimize it
anyhow" and then it all goes to pots. A very common scenario in software
design.
