Now if they could also delete the seatstay spare spoke carrier, that would be good too.

Yeah, I don't use mine, but I may at some point. I have a Topek Road Morph mounted on the seat tube, between it and the fender. It fits because I have 26 inch rims. I may use the peg to mount something else though, so I am glad it is there, and of course I do have an old frame pump I can put on the bike if I want. As for spoke holders, I have spokes held there, and I don't give it a second thought, but I may when I need a spoke. They aren't in the way of anything, so I see no harm in them being there.
