Oh really? Excluding features/options when making major new versions happens
all the time.

Look at a lot of the software Apple releases for example. Intuit also did it
with Quicken for another example.

The fact PgAdmin 4 lacks some features of PgAdmin 3 has a lot of precedent in
the industry.

The fact is, every feature/option you have has costs to make it and costs to
continue maintaining it, so sometimes taking things away is beneficial. That's
not to say that taking some things away isn't painful, but that's not the case
with all features and options.
