In 7r4 it shows up, and lists the bindings, but the Delete button
doesn't enable when there is a selection in the listbox because ...
bindings are broken in 7r4. :)

Unfortunately, they really haven't moved their communication to the
forums. By 'communication' I mean official-down-from-the-mount
communication from RS. There haven't been any sort of announcement
posts detailing any of this, it just comes up in random threads as RS
employees post.
Similar stuff happened on this list when it was monitored by RS
employees (remember those days? ;) ), but it didn't replace official
announcements and release notes.

But in both cases it should have been "officially" stated AT LEAST in the
release notes as neither posts here nor on forum (unless in the announcement
section) are "official" notifications to customers. I also suspect many look
at neither - and those things certainly can affect users making decisions about
their work.
And that callouness bothers me even though the deprecation does not. Over the
years RS built up a lot of good will with loyal customers despite alot of bugs
becauseof their openness ... This type of thing could eventual distroy that.
