When applying the programmer art, the title logo on the menu does not change to the original Minecraft title logo. The description of the programmer art in the resource packs says, "The classic look of Minecraft" The main menu Minecraft title logo is a part of the classic look of Minecraft.

It can absolutely still get applied, just need to change where it is located within the texture file.
Would it be possible to change how the texture file itself is mapped via a resource pack? It would definitely require some code changes, but perhaps a mcmeta file could be included that (as permitted by these code changes) would map the old texture as it previously was.
Backwards compatibility is not a focus in resource/data packs; and it is absolutely not needed to fix this.
Confirmed, though I doubt this will be fixed due to the fact that the old and the new use different resolutions/is incompatible with the new one.
