BFD commands removed on IOS 15.4.1T2(ED) and newer???

I noticed that on my new Cisco 2921 routers with IOS IOS 15.4.1T2(ED) and 15.4.3.(M1), BFD commands were removed. I had it to downgrade to 15.2.4(M5). Does anyone knows why Cisco removed them?

Hello again,

This has been resolved. The BFD commands were not removed on newer IOSs. In fact these commands have been available since 12.0(31)S. However, on 2900s a "datak9" license is needed to enable the BFD commands.
