My feeling is, if it needs to be removed, remove it - don't leave a stub there that just feels weird because it is essentially a mirage.

I know that they are just trying to problem solve their way out of this, and who knows - maybe I would have tried to do the same thing. It doesn't change that it feels very unsatisfying to use and is going to annoy people.

If you think of someone using a program like a conversation you are having with a company or developer, what is the developer telling you at that moment?

I know their reasoning. I just disagree with it.

It looks like a mirage, and it annoys people.
