That's an unfortunate regression. I use screenshots heavily (see
http://popey.com/~alan/phablet/gallery.php) for filing bugs, reviewing
changes and promoting apps. Shaky-cam photos of the phone are
significantly more time consuming to take, lower quality & are less
appealing than raw screenshots from the device.

I realise that screenshots are probably lower priority than everything
else on the list, but technically this *is* a regression in my
opinion.
