@Alex, this was a conscious developer decision to prune code of an
unsupportable feature--in effect for the 5.3, 5.4, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2 and now 6.3
major releases. 
We can not reasonably now call it a regression as it is long gone.

Yes it would be a good enhancement, and worth reimplementing. And, yes it could
be considered an Assistive Technology for our low vision users, but best done
in context with other needed improvements (like bug 105610).

Refactoring to reimplement UI scaling in a modern fashion (with HiDPI and
render engine support) would be a substantial development effort.
