 > Well, rather than obsolete it, why not use what I just built? Then we
 can keep it.

 Because it's not maintainable going forward. Poppler gets lots of security
 bugs, and the old version will inevitably become more and more of a pain
 to maintain. And no, you can take control of someone's machine with some
 of these by giving someone a file to view in email.
