I have just read the last developer meeting minutes, and wanted to clarify that I'm fine with the removal :-)

If the user is coming over https, and httpswwwroot is set, we should be using that instead of the wwwroot. If they use the wwwroot, then browsers see this as XSS and block various things - e.g. help files. This is *only* a problem when visiting over https and the wwwroot is set to http. The only place I can see where we actively pass users from http to https is the account settings page. That said, users can visit the httpswwwroot instead of the wwwroot and will see this on any page that they visit (until they click a link that is...). I've marked this a security bug for the moment until someone else has had a look. I think we may need to have more of a review of this - the ajaxlogin also uses config.wwwroot regardless of the setting of httpswwwroot.
