Idk man, I don't see this as a great thing. I like having access to FTP. I still use it sometimes.

They claim they're dropping support because its insecure but to me it seems weird that they continue to support insecure HTTP but not FTP?

Also, secure FTP is a thing. I wish they'd keep supporting FTP but I guess it's additional code to maintain that isn't used often...
