I was sent the patch that fixed this compatibility (and i explained that).
I agree that we can remove the old code when are no more compatible
with the rest of code, but this piece of code do not harm anyone.
I can't send the component to you because it is not free, but after

After one hour spent for conversion, this components works great.
