They can't.  It requires a number of subtle changes in other components. 
In the past few weeks I've worked towards that on the isabelle repository, 
such that today the change looked mostly trivial.

We have more and more the situation of "no serviceable parts inside 
Isabelle", which means that the fully integrated system has become so 
complex that users cannot do much maintenance themselves.
