Jezz: "No functionality should be removed" only applies to automatic updates. Neither of your examples fit in that case.
Maybe I should clarify, this is an example of what I consider to be a violating change: 1. User configures the views they like 2. Automatic update is applied that removes a view. 3. User no longer has the view they liked. Surely we can all agree that's rude? Let's set config and resetting to defaults aside for now and focus on removal.
