It's possible that the color math will re-emerge in a later release as color
operations that make sense. For instance *, +, and - could be the color math
similar to what photoshop does for multiply, add, and subtract instead of
rgb-component based algorithms.

But mostly because having features that people don't/shouldn't use creates
more to learn and understand and can add to a negative impression of the
language.
