Right. I removed it since it was a stupid design mistake (to my mind).
Its removed in the doc as well already. Please note, that I consider
the alpha development to do exactly those things -- which of course
breaks code even without further notice (although usually its easy to
correct those things). We might get into beta next year, where those
breakage should become rare and should be documented. We'll see.

So when building networks you may also start with boxes and take a
look to the connector stuff Michael Schindler contributed a few months
ago. It should be quite usable (although it might be currently broken
CVS -- I'm not sure about that). You could use it to connect different
boxes (notes) ... I'm not sure if this would help you for the tasks
you have in mind ...
