It was considered, but as of the latest beta, it was considered a feature (according to the report when you start the beta for the first time, and the "What's New" section in the Help menu).
EDIT: To my surprise, the vines are not affected in Beta 1.8.0.14. One down.. I hope none more to go. I actually like the slower climbing/descending too.
@Zander M.
The speed when ascending and descending ladders,etc was infact slowed down according to the patch notes. However, that was because in an earlier beta 1.8.0.x version, the speed was too fast. The current speed now is way too slow. So it's not a feature, rather you may have misunderstood what the patch notes referred to by ladders being slower.
this still happens in 1.8.0.14
