Actually it wasn't.
Default 51a does not include stamina drain on mace weapons, nor do swords do any extra critical damage, also all bladed weapons both fencing and swords are poisonable. I have a copy of Sphere 0.51a on my computer and I have checked these things - also I still have a pretty good memory for how IN1 worked as well.
Furthermore, currently on live polearms cannot be poisoned but all other bladed weapons - both swords and fencing - can be, and there is no critical hit mechanism. Despite what people believe there is simply a minimum damage and a maximum damage, this mechanism is the same for all three weapon skills, there is no critical hit % or function at all.
The system you are referring to is OSI publish 17/18 pre-AoS, and may also have been other versions of Sphere (I have only experienced 51a).
Therefore, given that the system is currently not, and never has been, what you are describing, I see no reason why we cannot deviate from it if there is justification to do so (see my original reply regarding this issue).
