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?
Same thing -- new device, different features.
Removal status == NOT

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.
OSX versions are not new products. The new version runs on the same computers, so when a specific version drops support for a certain model, then yes, that is removal of a feature of OSX. Just like the Bluray update.
Removal status == YES

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.
The Kindle line is a series of discrete products.
Removal status == NOT
