It's not file-roller but nautilus, and the feature has been mentioned
in various blog posts, including this recap for GNOME 3.22:

What exactly do you expect this sort of comment to achieve?

Just giving my opinion, "IMHO" states that it's only *my* opinion, and I didn't and will never say that it's a universal opinion.

Looks like you have mismatched versions of file-roller and nautilus
though, because those 2 aren't supposed to appear at the same time.

Please make sure you've read the various blog posts and design wiki
pages before commenting further, especially using that kind of
language.

Yes actually that's why I'm posting here, just to have some pointers to bug reports/wiki pages to understand your choices and read probably existing debate on this feature.

Thanks.
