I believe that in this case your analogy is false. This isn't about including a feature that 20% want, this is about removing a feature (for one) and about some people being for it and the rest not really caring, save for admins/developers.

Frankly, save for a few people, nobody really cares if some random guy fried his N900 by installing -well frankly- shift. I don't. I help if I can, but I don't feel sorry for people who delete files with no backup.

I don't believe in having features removed for safety. It's a complicated discussion because one can still do it via CLI, and one assumes that if you know what to install then one would know how to use the terminal.

Still, it's a removal and *I* disagree with it. It was hidden anyway. Add a hefty red warning that dings, if you want. But why go back?

Besides, it's a hindrance to natural selection. What better lesson against installing non-approved than a semi-brick?

Yes, I kid.
