Have they really removed it, or just used the KAF mount instead of KAF2?
As far as I can tell, KAF2 has been used only for relative higher-end
cameras; KAF ones have always been produced along with them. For
instance, while the MZ-5n/MZ-3 and MZ-S have KAF2 mounts, the MZ-6 and
"below" have KAF.
No. KAF2 specifications enable transferring MTF characteristics of a lens to
the body. So even without power zoom contacts it is KAF2 (*istD has MTF
program) but somewhat crippled. See here:

Yeah. I knew that. What I was referring to was that according to other
pages on that web site, many cameras introduced after KAF2 have KAF
mount. But now I notice that the "D" cameras are all listed as having
"crippled" KAF2...
