That's the nature of a toolkit. It preferable to make improvements by adding new tools, rather than breaking old tools with unanticipated consequences of new features.
To a large extent, the gEDA action has moved to gedasymbols.org, which has grown to 32 MB of stuff (symbols, footprints, scripts, simulation models, ...). That's a tremendous community contribution, and I think that's where the biggest opportunities to contribute are.
