`pcase' has been around since 2010.

It is used 2213 times in the Emacs source.

To say that, after 13 years of service, it should be replaced
by virtually untested software with no clear advantage, is
just a hooligan move that will alienate people for no reason.

It is okay to replace good software with better, sure, but
especially in circumstances like this one would then have to
be able to make a really strong and convincing case for the
proposed solution.
