Name retrieval page no longer exists

Previously, the page http://www.minecraft.net/retrievename allowed users to test their emails in order to determine what names/accounts were associated with their emails. This page was particularly useful for tech support, in order to avoid contacting Mojang support to find the email. With the 2.0 release of the website this page no longer exists.

Is there a reason for the "wont fix"? It was really useful for people that forgot their username or email, so instead of saying "contact Mojang" directly or for them to look in all ther emails for a email from Mojang(if they didnt deleted), they could just test for it.

Also is useful for when we dont know if the user is just throttled or someone changed the email, we could ask them to try and see if they receive something(so just throttled) now we just have to say "Wait 3 hours, if it still doesnt work, email Mojang" And that puts a unnecesarry burden on Mojang support team
