EC to BC migration: Business rule version history no longer shows the "Used In"

When you look at a rule history in the Enterprise Console, you get a column "Used In"
It shows for each version which branches / baseline uses this version of the rule.
However, this information is missing in the Business Console. 

Not available in the History nor in the Stream. 

And there are no APIs to retrieve that information as well.

This feature was used by for auditing purpose in earlier version (in the Enterprise Console) and it should be made available in the Business Console too as the Enterprise Console is now deprecated.

    Our business users are transitioning from the unsupported ODM 8.10.5.2 to the latest ODM version 9.0.0.3. Association of the business rule version to deployment baseline is a key traceability feature that they have been relying on the earlier versions from EC for accountability and auditing of the business rule. In specific looking through the version history of a given business rule in Enterprise console provided a list of deployment baselines that included the given version of the business rule (as attached). This association enabled our business users to account when and which deployment baseline the rule version was included.

    However, this feature appears to be missing in the Business console when viewing the business rule version. There is no earlier way to establish auditability of the business rule version across a deployment snapshot without manually trolling through each deployment snapshot. 

    Kindly advise:
    - Why was this feature redacted (not introduced) in the Business console and provide reference to product documentation/release notes that provide relational for the action?
    - How do you see is the best way to derive this association in version 9.0.0.3 of the Business console given this feature appears to have NOT been part of any prior business console versions?

    - How does the project management team advice we address this auditability concern from the business users as we transition to BC.

    Thanks
