Consistent is not everything! Same looking, forced the same concept into everything, whatever the context is and if it justifies better approach in that local situation or not, and especially ''fixing'' already released 'inconsistent' state, already learned (sometimes forced)? No, thank you!!
They did not have to change to the new look that caused inconsistency the first place. This is a toxic kind of practice to reorganise everything again and again, obstucting users. I had to waste sooo much time already in various system 'optimizations' and 'consistency redesigns' forced on me that it costs a lot!
On this level the consistency is a barrier, not helping, corrupting a working situation. It is not a magic wand solving everyhting, it could ruin things! Just think about consistent touch screen approaches, putting touch screen everywhere in the highly practical world of vechicles, causing problems, accidents. Consistency is not paramount. Practicality is.
