I think that would be a very bad idea.  For one, the interface for users
should not severely change between 4.x and 5.x, or else we will have to
retrain the monkeys that barely are able to use Services the way they are
now.  Also, there are people who use the access list feature.  I know of
several people on my network that use it, and they would be very upset if
it disappeared.  I would either have to not upgrade, or patch it back in
myself if it were to be removed.
