.."if it ain't fixed,don't break it...call a Licensed Electrician"
was at an Alcan road show that had me thinking the same thing. They brought samples of the old 1350 alloy and the 88xx stuff, lugs, charts and studies, trying to show folks <mostly inspectors> it was OK. I can agree it is harder to break the new alloy. The bad reputation will be harder to break.
