I will say this: if you have any suggestions for what new use we could give survey modules that could potentially rub the "surveying" itch, please don't hesitate to let us know. It's not that we want to remove the feature, it's just that our new implementation of jumpdrives makes them obsolete. I think everyone would agree that the coordinate system is kind of inherently unintuitive and unwieldy, so it being replaced shouldn't be too surprising. But it leaves a bit of a gap that I would happily fill.
I wouldn't be entirely surprised if you ended up suggesting something we're already working on in a different way, too (Let's just say dynamic connections between some systems are on the menu, but surveying has nothing to do with it), but that's life.
