It's policy. The decision was made after usability testing, where users got confused when first maximising a window. "where's the launcher gone now?" And because the option was being removed, the decision was also made to remove the code to reduce the maintenance requirements.

I used to like the way that the launcher used to slide away when there was a window over it and re-appear when there wasn't. Now in Precise, we seem only to be able to have autohide or permanently in place.
