Yeah, it's not hard to get the feature back -- but there's no warning, no explanation, and no help for the lost and confused.

FYI, usual changes are made not based on design or aesthetics but on security. Always keep that in mind. If a feature was so bullet-riddled with security issues to the point that it was an entire security hole, it will get axed...period. That's usually the case when companies decide to axe whole features of their software.
