It might break your expected behavior but it would fix the expected
behavior for a lot of other people.  Everything is a compromise.

You could just throw "unalias help" into your .bashrc and have the old
help back.  This seems like the best compromise to me: the people that
want the old help back certainly know enough to easily apply the fix.
And those that don't know what they're doing at all will at least get a
help that is helpful to them.
