I can see the logic in not loading---by default---certain features which many
people might never use. However, "StackGraphics" is one of those (to me) very
useful commands which has saved me several times, and which I would not like
to see go away. I'm a little concerned that it'll either fall by the wayside,
or everything else will "upgrade" to the extent that it will no longer be
very functional.
Things like the "Column" command were useful to me in the past, but that
can be easily replaced by an equivalent "Part" command. "StackGraphics", on
the other hand, seems to have no easy replacement.
Why must Mathematica _lose_ certain functionalities?
