First off, your post makes it sound like these toolbar options have been
there forever. The toolbar options were not even added until the
keybinding support was added which was 1.1.2. So the 1.0.x and earlier
streams have never had them.
The issue was that we never set out to add the toolbar items. The person
that implemened the keybinding support went through a lot of iterations of
the patch and getting it to work in all situations and the toolbar items
just kind of got added along the way. It turned out that adding them had
nothing to with getting the feature to work.
We removed them because the feature does not really scale. We cannot just
add all 22 of our Team menu options to the global toolbar, there is no
precedent to support this. We are trying to take our cues in some of
these UI areas from what the CVS developers have done, and they did not
choose to make any of their actions, except Checkout, available to the
toolbar.
