Yes, I am aware that it is not necessary to do it that way -- that's why RobotPy has support for both ways (and perhaps at some point, fake-wpilib will support it too. Maybe someone can submit patches ).

However, it doesn't answer the question of why the OP decided to do it that way, which was the original question.
