When a specific way of working insists on talk pages, it means that the associated workflow has to be revisited and changed with urgency.

You are entirely correct. Nevertheless, the change still needs to be accepted by the crusty old editors who are used to the old ways. So we're now at the stage of: "how do we make experienced editors want and demand this?"
