It didn't replace the old command, that one is still there, it just
doesn't have a key binding by default.

We want to stop maintaining the etags-derived UI for moving through
hits, so this is part of a plan.

FUD. As a matter of fact, we did exactly what you call for:
introduced a new UI and commands to go with them, and let users
experiment with them, while the old ones are still available, and the
way to get back old behavior is described in NEWS.
OTOH, when Drew will stop assuming "Emacs devs" have ill will, and
release knee-jerk reactions, such as this one, based on that, is
anyone's guess.
