Thank you very much for your reply, but does this mean we'll have to wait a lot longer to have it back? Because I'm personally not too much fond of having to type in the special:NewFiles each time in the URL when I want to upload new images for articles or for my blog series. I understand that you'll have a lot of other work, and that it's probably already a huge job to get these patches right every week, but I was sort of hoping that we would be able to get it back in one of the next patches while waiting for the bigger "right rail optimization" project that the post you linked to seemed to refer to. Anyway, thank you for your time and for taking the user ideas into consideration.
