Comment (by knutsp):

 This is my first disastrous experience with WordPress.

 The tool I used most for WordPress is gone. The plugin doesn't replicate
 the functionality, and is completely pointless. Someone really messed up
 this time.

 So I use Facebook instead for posting about articles in media. Or I find
 other tools, not WordPress. I have held courses for clients using this
 tool, what to say now?

 I used to love WordPress, for almost 15 years. Now, I wonder what the team
 is thinking, who they ask before making braking changes and what's the
 goal.

 What was the reason for removing this? "Old" is no reason here, as it's
 just a few years old, and was working. I can only ask, please revert this.
