+1 It is something that had me puzzled for quite a while. Was I
supposed to migrate? Was the current somehow broken? 

I'm still not quite sure what newnet does that oldnet doesn't, or
why somebody felt it was necessary to make a new package (and no,
let's not discuss that here). Whatever it is, ideally, it would
reflected in the name(s). And package descriptions.
