There were some modifications done to remove the display of the different colored icons and the "new" image. So, yes it would be easy to remove the column, but it would be a bit more difficult to return to the old behavior as the code has been changed to display the current way.
And, I don't really by the bandwidth thing either, but it's just one of things that were mentioned/complained about the old way.
