What happened to the "refresh" icon? Was it intentionally removed?

On prior versions there was a very useful "refresh" or restart button. Why is it gone now?

Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.
During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.
If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
You can middle-click that Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.
