I'm all for deleting features that don't serve a purpose anymore, whose usefulness isn't justified by the changes in environment or advance in technology/design.
Winter trigger guard may be one of them, barrel mounted sling adapter is the other I can think of. As infrequently as I use my iron sights and FA, I don't want to lose them.
Some say the scalloped out portion of the bolt carrier can be used to quietly push the BCG forward, while this is true, I don't think that's the intended purpose. If it were, it'd be serrated, not left smooth.
