I think you misconstrued the sentence; The reason for these new tools is
because pw was (as the README for it states, at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/pw/README?rev=1.5.2.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
) designed to duplicate these tools.  Having the actual tools themselves
is better.
