Personally, I don't care about it. If they removed something vital to the main function of the system (playing games or watching Blu Rays), I'd be upset, but since this has no bearing on my use of the PS3, I really don't care.
It's a different case though, they didn't remove it from existing systems, only took it out of future units they product. Plus, the price has been dropped considerably in newer version, so if people want to play PS2 games, just buy a PS2.

They did remove the feature from existing systems though. Sure you can choose to not update the firmware but then you are locked out of the Playstation Network and store. You can't play games online. New games that require the latest firmware will not play. And Blu-Ray movies with newer encryption keys (Avatar) will not play. I believe that you will also lose the networking capability as well so you can't stream audio or video from your PC to the PS3.
