It provides a way to reduce address consumption to work around a shortage of addresses.
It does not solve any other problem(s). As such, taking it away when giving you a large enough address space that there is no longer a shortage doesn't strike me as taking away a tool that solves a problem. It strikes me as giving you a vastly superior tool that solves rather than working around a problem. Owen
