Hi Pedro,

I'm not a Dev or UX, but what is the point of removing Options?

If the Option is already there and it works correctly, why remove
it?

Why limit the user's choice?

Well, my oldest joke with OpenOffice.org is, that people always complainabout the huge amount of config options, yet at many changed features,new config options were added. (Same must have happened over here by theway.)

Now some guys are brave enough to remove options, that apparently arenot necessary any more.

(And sometimes find me 'in their way' complaining ;-) )
