Thanks for bringing that up and sorry about the frustration this caused you. The command was removed because I realized that it was not populated and used anymore. However, you are absolutely correct, this should have been reserved for the `2.1.x` release branch or, at the very least, mentioned in the changelog. We'll try to do better in the future. -- Romain
