IIRC, it was removed precisely because it's error-prone, and having a special target makes it seem official, and because there's a one-line replacement command. That's certainly the reason CMake doesn't provide it automatically. Personally, I'm not fussed either way, but then I've always been happy to nuke my install directory when necessary.
