This was added as a quick-ish hack back in 1.0 days, but it was never meant to be a primary interface for getting stats information, and using it as such leads to problems. The CLI is single-threaded and any kind of TCP trouble from a client polling stats information would cause the CLI to get stuck, preventing any other kind of management from happening. The trigger for this removal is that the stats implementation has never learned to handle dynamic stats counters, and since this as added a lot of new stats, the next thing you need filtering facilites, paging etc. All of that belongs in varnishstat, where it is already implemented, and were its operation does not negatively impact the primary task of varnish: service HTTP clients. For reference we never made the mistake of showing the varnish-log from the CLI. See also ticket #925.
