While I don't disagree with the change, it might have been nice to have 
pre-announced the axeing first.  Even with Alpha (which probably had more 
support and which was discussed in person at BSDCan with a lot of developers) 
having the removal not actually discussed on the lists at all resulted in 
some bumps that could have been easily avoided with a bit more patience on my 
part.
