Without getting into yet another discussion of its pros and cons, I'd just like to ask whether anybody has any insights into why Apple might eliminate such a feature?

I think it's 100% unlikely that they got negative feedback about SnapBack, one of the highly touted features of the initial Safari release, which has been "missed" on sites other than FTM and which has performed flawlessly for me since day-one.

It's possible that it was a completely arbitrary, dartboard type, decision, made in the interest of eliminating some code.

But I wonder whether it's because it didn't get enough positive feedback, and, if so, precisely how do you post positive feedback to Apple?

Apple's Mac OS X Feedback page, considered together with the "Thanks" page that clicking on "Send Feedback" elicits, makes it painfully clear that positive feedback is not part of its intended purpose, so...?
