@Susan, POA, and others:
Whether we change this back or not, we are highly likely to blog about it again and discuss some of the reasoning behind it all; how come, why, why it happened when it did and so on. I understand exactly where you are coming from, having seen no significant updates on this, however - suffice it to say that things are usually more complex than it meets the eye, and there are multiple things to consider. I wish it was as simple as a press of the "undo" button and no ramifications to content discoverability - alas - that is not necessarily so. The timing of all this with lots of people being OOF does not help expedite anything either.
Long story short: we are in fact still working on this. Do keep telling us what you like or not! I can assure you that if your feedback was not loud and clear, this would have long ago been "dropped" (as sometimes, you get one-off feedback that is not really clear or actionable).
Thank you!
