In reply to Morten Rand-Hendriksen.

Of course it's Morten who says exactly what I came to say! :)

I completely agree and took issue with that same line. I think it's really important that we use these moments to educate rather than offering a way to undo the change and encourage people to keep doing the same worst practices. The change wasn't arbitrary. It was supported by a growing body of best practices!

The next time something like this happens (like when WP hopefully removes that checkbox in the link modal!), I'd much prefer a WP Tavern article called "Users Upset as WP 4.2 Removes TItle Attribute from Links. Here's Why That Change is Good."
