What’s happened to "Visitor Stats" and "Visitors now browsing" features?

That is a big shame. Inefficient maybe, but the stats could be disabled. Both features were major ’selling’ points to my clients.
And very useful for determining that a contact form was being used as a spam relay on one of my client sites. This release looks fantastic, and I applaud you all for your hard work. But I have to say removal of this, which could be disabled anyway, is not a good move in my opinion.
But as I have not been reviewing the forum much in the last months, I’m sure I may have missed a some threads noting the problems with these features to prompt their removal.
Dev Team Note: The built in stats actually causes some busy sites to become functionally useless and at best, perform horribly. They were not good, despite being quite convenient I agree! AWStats, Google Analytics, Mint, Slimstats and a few others perform better and offer better insight into what’s really going on with a site.
