Should the lpm_counter and lpm_add_sub-megafunctions, etc. return to the MegaWizard?

It looks like that these functions are missing in Q10.0 by purpose (according to mySupport). I think they are/were very useful for schematic design, therefore I want to start a poll to keep them. ...

I get the feeling they are trying to steer people away from schematic design and use HDL instead, especially now Q10 has no simulator.

I think, Altera always had a good schematic editor and a lot of people used it, at least for the top-level. (I think this is also true for many examples provided by Altera.) So I really hope they change their decision...
