Public bug reported:

User testing revealed that users expected that icon could be removed
from the launcher by longpressing an item and dragging it out of the
launcher.

One option would be having a trash bin appearing at the bottom of the
Launcher (in the place normally occupied by the BFB) when a user drags
and app icon off he launcher (or enters an edit mode to organize icons).
The problem with this is that because user can also relocate an item in
this mode dragging an item down to a trash bin causes item to go through
all  different dropping positions in the actual launcher as well.

Therefore one possible option would be placing the thrash bin outside
the launcher next to the item in question.
