One of those things is not like the other in my opinion.  I didn't
have a fixed opinion on whether to stay with the current framework.  I
admit I assumed it would bring improvements and not reduced
functionality.  I would have had a fixed opinion had I known I was
going to lose important (to me) functionality and taken the steps that
were advised in the announcement.

Even now, I don't it critical if that functionality will come back (it
is after all a pre-release version).

If it's not coming back, I'd like to know what the rationality is
behind it.  This might open up a larger discussion about what else
will be removed from Horde and the applications in future.

Thanks.
