I'd like to end on a constructive note.  I propose that GNOME adopt the following policy.  No major feature will be removed from a core GNOME application before a discussion has occurred on a public mailing list such as this one

You probably want nautilus-list for nautilus specific discussions.

I'm well aware of nautilus-list, but chose to post here because I think there's a problem here beyond just Nautilus.  In my opinion, useful features are vanishing from core GNOME apps without adequate notice to the community and opportunity for discussion by people who use those features regularly.  As just one more example, last December the bookmark toolbar was suddenly removed from Epiphany:

I was startled to see it removed.  I used the bookmark toolbar all the time and still miss it every day.
