I'll take a look.

It's still a $ and cents equation in my mind.  "Suffering" doesn't enter 
the equation.  No matter what the feature, there's got to be a point 
where it's rational to drop support for it.  Happens all the time.

You may disagree with that in regards to this particular issue, but I'm 
having a somewhat hard time seeing why it isn't obvious in the general 
case: sometimes features must be dropped.
