They, MS, did listen, as I said, the majority of those who responded said they didn't use it and felt it would be no loss.
I remember being told about it, not being asked. Must've been a different meeting eh. Regardless of the semantics, it's absurd. I know it wasn't used much, but put it in then take it out? Arbitrarily make people not be able to have their code forward compatible? Craziness.
