Great - let's take something that people are using, remove that
functionality, and not announce it!

This is not cool; it represents one of my biggest frustrations with a
bunch of the "new and improved" ways of doing things.  You track down
how to do something, it works for a few releases, and then it doesn't
anymore with no notice.
