Follow-up Comment #1:

It wasn't dropped. It just wasn't applied to the stable branch. This is a
major breaking change, and we don't apply those to the bugfixing releases. It
went on the development branch, which will go into Octave 3.8.0, when this is
released, which is possibly in a couple more months.

Everyone has their 98% important, 98% critical, 98% made-up urgent
requirements. Yours will be fulfilled in 3.8.0, or if you're in a hurry, you
can patch the 3.6.2 sources yourself with the changes you've already found.
Since these changes were applied early on during the fork between stable and
development, it's likely that they will apply cleanly to the current stable
release.

If you have trouble doing this, try the help list for unpaid community help or
consider asking your commercial and government lab to hire an Octave
consultant to assist with the process:
