The design decision to remove support for the options are undermining the 
effort by developers who put it there and the whole (IMHO correct) thought 
process behind their work.
The incorrect design decision is taking away my *freedom* to use these options 
as i see fit.
Do you really want to take away my freedom? Is this what ubuntu is all about?
