I don't know if there's any official
current information about what the plan is for this, and I am somewhat reluctant to ask on MSE because it might result in the page being removed sooner without being replaced by anything. I don't know
if the planned removal was just for the link or the feature, but I think/hope it was just the link. If it was for the feature, I don't know if it was just for Stack Overflow's next build or the whole network.
