Iirc when I started modifying the WASP you were the first one to object. It doesn't matter though, essentially nothing that exists can ever be changed, because there's always backwards compatibility issues.
The only practical solution is to keep the old instrument exactly as it is, with all its bugs and limitations, and add a completely new one on top. With very few exceptions, that is exactly what I did with Orion 8. You open an old project, the old instrument or effect is loaded and works exactly as previously- you make a new one, you get to choose what to use. Of course the old stuff is less exposed to avoid cluttering the menus with old stuff, but it's all there when it's needed.
