Yeah, during UBZ we decided to not include it on the panel by default.

We've discussed this in the past, and there are some good reasons to do it,
some good reasons to avoid it (particularly when you can't communicate how
it works merely through a bunch of icons in a row), but ultimately it is new
work which we aren't going to invest in right at the moment. The, um, return
on investment isn't great enough. :-)
