Thank you for pointing me to the link. That helps explain the change. I don't agree with the assertion that "Save As" is left off of most toolbars. Even when it is, though, it is easy to add back on -- something that is not true with Emacs.

I don't know about other users, but I look to the NEWS to explain changes. It was self-evident that the change was made, but not why the change was made.

Understood. I wasn't asking for that.
