I truly find that people active here in the community, could have spoken 
up earlier and if did not do so, now should not support complains from 
others in the sense that they agree that it is a bad decision.

And as a consequence, still we can only be modest in our requests.

Adding one thing (I've not read all comments in detail and will not be 
able to do that without causing trouble..) :
if it comes to a point where a change to the current situation is made, 
to me it would look a good solution to change the behaviour of the menu 
View > Text Boundaries: ticked = show the old boundaries; unticked = 
show the current markers. (And I do not expect this to be an easy hack).


Furthermore ... I hope we all enjoy all the good things 3.5.0 brings us :-)

Cheers,
