The old algorithm is incompatible with itself.

Using "old" quoting on an "old" box will also break things, and worse
than either of the two above.
The only way to avoid breaking things is "new" quoting on a "new" box.
"old" + "old" gives you: much damage, but damage we are used to.
"old" + "new" gives you: less, but different, damage.
"new" + "new" gives you: no damage.
