Just "Mix load-library RET facemenu RET", and it re-appears.

What would that menu say?  All of its items aren't actionable until
facemenu is loaded.

This is not a regression, this is a deliberate removal of
functionality that was deemed not important enough.  It took us a lot
of heated discussions to get there, and I wouldn't want to restart
those discussions.

If you don't like the removal and its side effects, just add this to
your init file:

  (when (>= emacs-major-version 28)
    (require 'facemenu)
    (define-key global-map "\M-o" 'facemenu-keymap)
    (define-key facemenu-keymap "\es" 'center-line)
    (define-key facemenu-keymap "\eS" 'center-paragraph))

That's what I did.
