His proposal was a desktop-wide policy on feature removals, taking a
recent change in Nautilus as an example. As such, it's not
Nautilus-specific.

I've also been unpleasantly surprised by this and other removals. I
liked Colin's mail about regressions due to systemd/gnome-settings-daemon
back in January [1], and the general idea that regressions should be
avoided and only put into place if they really warrant a sufficiently
large step forward.
