Comment (by kratem32):

 Sorry if I wasn't clear enough on how I use this.

 If you use it simple as trust on first use, then you are right.
 However, the mentioned tutorials as well as my own approach include the
 manual verification of the certificate (if available also by using DANE).
 This does provide at least the same security as the CA model but reduces
 the risk significantly.

 How likely is it that this feature will be reintroduced since it is not
 considered a bug?
