Yeah, there's several things they've removed or changed recently because they claim that few people used them.

It doesn't matter how many people use something, removing any feature actively makes the site less useful.

They also use the excuse that removing things makes the code "easier to maintain". Well, duh: fewer features mean less maintenance, but it doesn't make it right.

What's next, reviewing which preferences "most" people use, setting those as default and removing preferences altogether because "preferences are hard"?

The wiki I edit would be much easier to maintain if I deleted several hundred pages. Does that mean I should? No.
