Moultipass,
so the "missing" functions are there, and not missing (per your initial post) except for convenience of several buttons that you are personally (and likely few other users) are used to?
Correct?

I don't agree with your "penalize others" comment. I think it is far more damaging to software and ultimately users leaving huge chunks of redundant code just to satisfy a few "convenient" buttons. Instead of trying to formalin specimens, put forward idea(s) how to make new MTP library better - to suit your needs. In my view many popular, well supported ideas from this section of the forum do make it to yearly release.
