The original poster mentioned two missing items, hence the two boxes.

I do notice lot of explanatory italics text removed, but I think that's a methodology issue to allow for quick execution of the paper C/L, the expanded information itself is retained in the FCTM. Similar to QRH for unreliable airspeed, and personally I rather like it.
Noted well, that FCTM becomes less of an instructor book and more of FCOM supplement. The FCOM bulletins went same direction.

As for the cabin call, my opinion differs - it is greatly important. AFAIK it was introduced in the aftermath of Helios Airways 522. Most of the logic lies with cabin crew procedures: if there are indications of pressure loss but no announcement from flightdeck, get there at all cost as everybody's lives may depend on it (summarized).
