This read a lot like a knee-jerk reaction to the simple case of removing a 
feature that almost nobody knows about. I am fully aware that for every 
feature there is a user that objects when it is removed, but you have to 
ask yourself why you force others to keep maintaining code for a feature 
that people will _only_ find when told about it.

That, my friend, is the definition of an expert user craving an expert 
feature.
