It was never decided to drop favourites. It just silently happened, an 
nobody i've asked know why or who decided it. I really dislike the fact 
that i had to remove favorites from nautilus since it got removed 
elsewhere. 

I really like favorites, I think it's the only sane form of menu editing 
facilities for "mom and pop" type of users, and i strongly dislike it 
disappearing.
