Why can't the old syntax for Activity-Diagram shapes no longer be supported?

We use a lot of activity Diagrams in our projects and need to change them from time to time. Now the old diagrams witch the syntax 

 :FooBar>  
 :FooBar< 
 :FooBar|  

etc. no longer work since they have instead to be written much longer using 

:FooBar; <<StereoType>>

Is it realy such a big issue for the parser that it is not possible to stay compatible to previous versions?

I know the whole new actitivy syntax is marked as beta but it is such a long time already and people are using it - regardless of it being our fault to do so it would be nice if we had some kind of solution without needing to change all existing diagram sources...
