My bluray player used to play ISO files. It got an update from the manufacture, after which it no longer could play ISO files. THAT is removing a feature.
Anyone who bought that SAME MODEL player packaged after certain date also would find that feature missing. That's removing a feature.
So would it be if Amazon kept selling the K1, and after a certain serial number, the slot stopped being included, or after a software update the slot stopped working.

Don't get me wrong. I think the SD slots was an unneeded idea, and I have no problem with them getting rid of it, but I think you are painting this too black and white.
If the next model of your Bluray player doesn't include backward compatibility with standard DVDs, won't you say that Sony (or whoever makes your Bluray player) removed that feature? When OSX 10.6 (I think) no longer would run on Powerpc computers, wouldn't we say that they removed support for the older architecture.
When Amazons comes out with the newer models of the Kindle, they sometimes remove certain features that had been on the older Models. Just because we agree with their decision (as I have in each case), doesn't mean that they haven't removed features from the line.
