1.20 Change Log Question

Is the item "Start screen in other than full-screen mode is disabled" a permanent change, or will it be restored in a future build??  I have 8.0 Start8 set up with that option enabled, and really like how it has worked out.  I.E., I can use the start screen, but the whole setup is a lot less scroll happy than when the Start screen is full screen.  I would really hate to see this go away.
