They won't be brought back, no matter what you and your 17 friends say.
Oh, I agree. I doubt there's any chance they'll bring it back. From my experience, the things I like most about products are almost guaranteed to be the first things to be removed as they become "improved".

As Acc2pmWDZ said, the WL team look to the mass. Andn not you and your friends only. I bet TONS of people asked it to be removed.
Just as they don't look to me and my friends only, they don't look to your friends only. You say you bet tons of people complained about it, I say I can't think of anyone who would have complained or why anyone would have reason to complain. It's all a matter of incredible claims that can't be backed up

Why? Because there were lots of status. And some status had the same image. brb was show with the same icon as away. Out to lunch and ona call were the same as busy. Too complex for someone with a long list of friends.
Come now, six is hardly "lots", or "complicated". And yes, some of them have the same icon in the contact list. But that's irrelevant to those you're in a conversation with. The status icon never appears in the yellow strip across the top of your screen, it just tells you straight out that they're away, brb, out to long, whichever. To me, that's the main purpose of the status function. The icon in the list is just something to notify you at a glance. That they're either not at the keyboard, or otherwise occupied. Then you read the end of their name for more info, to see the little bracketed word at the end. Or if you can't see it, mouse-over and find it in the tooltip.

WL team want WL products to be as simple as possible. Like all those buttons from dashoard. Disappeared.
A six-option drop-down menu is far simpler than a four-option drop-down menu combined with having to change your name or perform some other kind of action to further clarify your meaning.
Also, dashboard buttons?
