Can anyone explain, if there was a special reason for this? Is this feature so 
rarely in use?

For myself, it seems a great thing to be able to do server-side function calls, 
in order to give a client updated information. This feature was one reason for 
choosing this technology, otherwise the same could be achieved with standard 
Web2.0 techniques and asking the server every 5 secs if something interesting 
has happened, but this seems for me like a waste of bandwith.

But it is good to hear, that there seems to be a way to use netremotecalls also 
in 4.2. So we do not have to get stuck at an older version ...

Kind regards,
