don't change the things which are working

Summary by Kaartic

The old PDF feature was actually not working. It had been gradually breaking down for a long time.

precisely why do you replace something which works by something which don't yet ?

Please refrain from calling people "dumbass". That's poisoning the discussion climate, which we don't allow. Civility is a core value on the Wikimedia wikis. You don't need to agree, but you need to disagree in a civil manner or you will no longer be able to write here.

As explained on Reading/Web/PDF Functionality it was actually not working. It had been gradually breaking down for a long time, and got to the point where we didn't have the resources to keep the old version up (not without sacrificing something else important).

Please rest assured that it's unlikely that most organisations will ever enjoy switching from one PDF renderer to another enough that they will do it if everything is working fine and there are no problems to solve.
