The H2O lineshape problems only occur when working with high water levels (but not high enough for self-broadening parameters to be significant). When one has pressure broadening with lower water levels, the recently determined H2O broadening parameters give improved residuals.

Bad water residual
Even in the low water case, large residuals from water lines complicate retrievals that need to go deep into the troposphere
