Smoke_Thickness in Viewport

Gooseberry build of blender used feature called “Thickness” in properties panel.
https://developer.blender.org/rB2ab422506b542ec68ddbbcfd2855f5ba333a145b

It simply displayed smoke more dense.
Specially smoke with hires become very light (almost invisible in viewport).
Since many of us (of what I noticed) use rendering smoke directly from viewport (just its very fast), this “Thickness” was very useful.

Does anybody know what is the reason it wasn’t included in official build?

BTW - I can’t find the Gooseberry builds, previously stored here
https://builder.blender.org/download/
I found only repository of older official builds
http://download.blender.org/release/
Does exist a link to them?
