Parachute repacking

I'm pretty sure, like 120% sure, that pilots were the ones able to repack parachutes at least one or two years ago.
Why was this changed? Why are engineers now required to repack a parachute?!

Personal chutes it's pilots, then engineers and scientists can after lvl1 experience.

For external chutes it's engineers after lvl1.

Make that 20% sure... the last proper update was in 2021... and no mention of parachutes...

There are multiple factors determining who can do what. Game version, game mode, type of chute (personal or craft) difficulty settings, Kerbal experience...mods.

I think craft chutes have mostly required an engineer (since job role has affected actions) but personal chutes can be variable based on above.

I did not need to repack a parachute for like 3-5 years now, but i'm more tha sure that Pilots were the ones to repack parachutes at least several years ago. Not a big deal, but very unexpected change for me.
