FWIW, I didn't remove it because it was slow on enwiki, but because the queries sucked and it doesn't scale. Just because a query is fast doesn't mean it's efficient...just means your dataset is small.

A motivated developer can take the code and create an extension out of it. There are over 1000 known extensions that add features not present in MediaWiki core for whatever reason.
Calling people or people's actions ignorant is not helpful, in my opinion, Stip, so I kindly request you to make constructive contributions.

On our wiki it is a very useful feature too. Removing it from the software just because it makes no sense on the en wikipedia is kind of ignorant.

The page has been removed because it took several seconds to load on the English Wikipedia. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41078 Niklas has already fixed the link, it needs to be backported to 1.21. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46719
On the "uselessness" of the special page: sure, on en.wiki it's 120k names, but e.g. on 178 Wikipedias it's a single very useful page of less than 50 names... http://wikistats.wmflabs.org/display.php?t=wp&s=ausers_asc
