As I said before, I do understand your argument. People hate change of almost any variety – even when it's in their best interests. I know that all developers struggle with this, including our own most excellent Micheus who works hard to make these improvements for us.
However, by your own admission, the old merge functionality was quite messy and, as such, a lot of people avoided using it. I know I don't want to use it – even with the current plug-in that Micheus is creating for it. It is both inefficient and nonintuitive. And by his own admission the plug-in isn't going to change much of anything because he doesn't want to upset people who are already used to the old, messy workflow.
Nonetheless, I can take a hint (after a fashion) and realized that I am swimming upstream with this argument. Changes will not be made to make the merge functionality work efficiently and intuitively, so I will just leave it and this discussion alone.
