Dear Scott,
This was not directly part of the IETF process, as my input there was ignored.
As I recall, removal of unlimited recursion occurred after a presentation made in Boston to the Open Group.
As with unlimited recursion, the need for the macro functions are also negligible while posing real risks. This is a serious security concern still needing to be addressed.
