When we discussed this, we talked about a range of things that we want to address in the 3.12 cycle, including a fleshed-out design for text selections, new text insertion functionality, and the need to have public discussion. It certainly wasn't simply a question of "should we remove it now or in 6 months time?" Hastily written one line commit message won't give you much insight, and will always be misleading if you read too much into them. So again - please don't jump to conclusions, and give us chance to publish a more detailed plan.
