"well, they probably forgot the remove a feature scheduled for removal 
"
That's very lame and not funny, flaming software projects is really getting old.
"Yes. But part of the GNOME philosophy is not to tell you - being a human, you might get overwhelmed with such information."
Before you make such comments and simply assume things, please check your facts.
"YES, there changelogs"
There's a big changelog for each module and a NEWS file next to each module's source tarball.

I recall at one point there being an update to Internet Explorer that said something similar.
"This update eliminates all previously addressed security vulnerabilities as well as any newly discovered vulnerabilities affecting Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP. Download now to protect your computer from these vulnerabilities."

As Donald Rumsfeld(*) so poetically put it:
There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.
:)
(*): IMHO he (and everyone who took high positions in the government and the military of the U.S.A. for the last... hm, 70 years or so) is a dick. But what a funny quote

Rumsfield didn't say anything new. What he said was a variation of Johari window.1) things known to all (public); 2) things known to you but not to others (secrets); 3) thinks known to others but not to you (individual unawareness); and 4) things unknown to all (collective unawareness)

A lot of GnomeVFS' shortcomings are being addressed in GVFS, which is being rolled into GTK2.
I've only heard of one benchmark of the new code and it seemed to be pretty decent for an abstraction layer. I seem to recall that GVFS was ~15-20% slower than kernel-mount operations. But this was also a few months ago, so it could have gotten slower (more bloat) or faster (optimized code) in that time.
