It cannot be applied to Esperanto: you have to deal with it in other languages, because there are people who speak it this way.
With Esperanto, no one has to learn irregularities and obsolete features: people do not owe anything to Esperanto, it's Esperanto that has to comply with people, as no one is speaking in it.

Yes, but those who now have been informed didn’t get the memo back then, when they were speaking esperanto; they didn’t know no one is speaking it...

Wait a minute... what's going on with those frames?... I'm getting kind of kapturna... I mean dizzy...

Of course not, since it would be against the "Fundamento de lernu.net" (which will be released in July 2017 — 130 years after the Fundamenta Gramatiko). People will advocate for change-proposals, but the Fundamentistoj will stay hard and prevent any modification so that lernu won't adopt the Zeitgeist of the the 22nd century.

EDIT: My 666th post — muhahahaha!

*scratches head* Was this an analogy to Esperantujo? ... I'm not sure I get it. ridulo.gif
