So that others don't have to infer in the future, I've posted patch
#1522038, which adds an explanation as to why these items are being
removed.

Also, in case you (Guido) have changed your mind about removing
operator.truth and operator.abs, I've also posted patch #1522059 which
will remove them from the stdlib.

Thanks,
