I'm not sure I understand how can removals help us in the Help commands. They could be used by a new command, which doesn't yet exist, which would show when was a specified symbol removed and what can be used in its stead, but that command needs to be written first, I think (and I'm not sure it will be used enough to justify it, but that's another matter).
