Not sure you got my point. I did not suggest to bring the killed-off 
technology back immediately but to provide us with a dialog fitting our 
look & feel guide lines (icons, help texts, margings etc.) and having one 
that we can customize in 4.0.x already.

I'm more of a fan of rewrites that go on in parallel to finally surpass 
what's there before they get in. Taking away things first and letting 
users wait half a year for a replacement is not what I understand to be a 
good service.
