... and Michel will now have 2 interfaces to support. When a new version will come along, he will now have to support 3 interfaces, etc.

To make things clear, I'm not here to defend the new interface or Michel, but I do understand Michel position on this. Maybe adding a combobox in the left pane that will launch the corresponding static page in a new session will be helpful.
