I do know that without object oriented Forth words, like CREATE .. DOES> , that the low-level sub-structure of ITC Forth becomes much more like a structured programming language. So, if someone removes such functionality, they'll likely be changing the language coding style of high-level Forth by eliminating those object oriented features.
