The intent was to allow admins to schedule a new set of recordings (recurring event) or upload without having to first go thru the separate (and disconnected) process of creating a series. It's a convenience. I don't have time now to dig up the history of this feature, and to determine how much (or little) of a pain point it will be if this is no longer functional, but it definitely leads to an awkward user experience if one starts to schedule or upload and then has to stop and got out and create the series. I'm pretty sure the automatic creation has been buggy in the past and has been working on and off in different releases...if there's a pressing reason to remove it again it would be unfortunate but not the end of the world.
