737 FCC Software change

i understand that Boeing are updating all new 737s with FCC software that removes the manual override to CWS feature. Any manual override of the controls will automatically disengage the autopilot rather than (as previously) trip the pitch or roll channel to CWS.

Any ideas as to why they chose to do this? I was quite a fan of CWS pitch if the aircraft captured an altitude at ALT ACQ with a daft rate of climb in busy airspace amongst other uses.
