mkvtoolnix - Why was the GUI dropped?

Is there a reason why the GUI (mmg) of mkvmerge was dropped, in yesterday's rebuild of mkvtoolnix?

But none of those links answer the question. While mkvmerge can be used with the command line, it doesn't seem very practical...

mmg always depended on an optional dependency, so it never had the highest priority. I also don't like this decision, but well, since we have the AUR, it's not so bad
