Why remove telnet and FTP?

Sure--it's insecure if you're using it over the internet, but I use it on
my laptop at least a few times per year.
I have a small 8-port switch where I plug in my laptop, then plug in an APC
UPS and access it via telnet (and use FTP as well) to upgrade the firmware
from a version that only supports SSHv1 to something newer.

It's not insecure when used in that manner.
