You do not really address this issue aside from shrugging it off as an unneeded feature that costs one or two vulnerabilities. If it was really that useless it would not have been implemented in the first place. The loopholes are real, but the feature should not be forgotten. I will leave it up to the community to file a request to have this back, because with that we can really see whether it actually is as useful as a few of us claim :)
