I'm quite happy to spend the effort reporting a bug which affects me, so that it may be fixed in future versions where I benefit; I'm even happy to report bugs I notice which don't actually affect my use, or where I found a workaround, so that others can benefit, but I find it a bit ludicrous to suggestion opening bugs for removed functionality as a means of communication with the designers, who have made changes but not publicly described them such that users can't tell whether their useful functionality was designed away "for their own good", or removed accidentally in the cross fire.
