Classic and the Totem trigger

So in a recent patch Blizzard decided to remove the totem API without any communication explaining that decision.

That doesn't mean totems can't be tracked anymore, it just a bit more cumbersome as the information must be gathered from the combat log events, and e.g. the durations of the totems need to be hardcoded. That is not hard, and thus there's already a library for that, LibTotemInfo thankfully made by SwimmingTiger, which we'll use in the next WeakAuras release.

Which begs the question, why would Blizzard remove the API if there's a rather trivial workaround?

Apparently, and because they don't communicate we need to speculate, the reason seems to be that they don't want to have any API that vanilla didn't have. And that they don't care that it's easy to workaround nor that they just broke a lot of addons.
