Subject: Missing Shadowsword options?

It has been a long while since I have gotten my Imperial Guard out to play, even longer for many of the more obscure units. While building a list last night I discovered that my Shadowsword is no longer legally equipped. Shadowswords used to not have hull heavy bolters at all, then they changed them to having the OPTION of having hull heavy bolters, but it wasn't mandatory. Now they are auto-included in the price. Also, what happened to trading the sponson lascannons in for extra targeters for +1 ballistic skill?
It looks like all the old Armorcast and Forgeworld Shadowswords (and a number of plastic GW kits) are now obsolete.

I could be wrong, but I think it's because the GW kit (the only one available now) comes with HBs on the hull as standard and do not have an option for targetters. Since the FW one has been out of production for so long, they probably decided to drop those options entirely.

The targeters at least appear to be a special rule for the tank.
Also, dear feth is the new format absolutely atrocious. What was wrong with the way 5th ed did units and upgrades?

I'm actually quite fine with the targeters. Swapping out some mini-turrets isn't that hard. However, when a plastic GW kit instructions states that the hull heavy bolters are optional (yes, I still have instructions from an old kit I have) I begin to have a problem.
