It's a bug that existed from the beginning, silly to embrace it as a mechanic when it does more harm than good. It's not a fun little thing like bunnyhopping, it just makes the game inconsistent, and harder to play for newer players. Barely any maps require it, and the mechanics that use it are something that a majority of players never even heard of. I agree, it shouldn't be completely removed, but it's pretty obviously not a good thing for the game.
Making it a command would be ideal.
