This makes me think of the time I was at a Pizza hut as a child and the waitress took my half eaten pizza away. "HEY! I WAS EATING THAT!"
How often do you find some great feature or software package you were using, and it's taken away. Sure, you might be the only person using it but YOU MATTER. If you aren't going to support it forever then don't put it in there. Unless NO-ONE is using it, leave it be. #Justsayin. And yeah I'm scared. Don't every try taking my food off me. I bite.
