This may have slipped through the cracks in the update - but I don't think it'll be a particular priority to change back. A misbehaving chat mod likely warrants losing their moderator rights, more than simply being kicked.

Of course, we're open to feedback - feel free to send thoughts in to Special:Contact/feedback.
