I wouldn't ask them to be stuck with their mistakes forever, as long as they honour the proper sequencing of "create new; deprecate old; discard old". Some projects tend towards conflating "create new" and "discard old" into a single step. This is an understandable temptation, but one that should, as a general rule, be resisted by anyone working on a project that has (and wants to keep) actual users outside the project.
