I love that they decided to do this. I think the justification for taking it away is really good.
I also think that the decision to disable via "flag" shows some prescience with respect to how the public reacts to things.
Great move and a template for "sound product development".

- alexc05 10y agoOh! I didn't get that far. Thanks for pointing that out. From a "best practices" point of view it was a good choice that they at least started with a thought to potential customer reaction. I do wish they'd left it in. Oh well. Incidentally thanks for the comment as well, my post above has a few downvotes and whenever that happens I always wonder "what I did wrong"
