Where are the chess openings names gone?

One of the features I really liked in lichess.org, was that after game analysis there would be an ECO code and the exact name of the opening and opening variation displayed. Where is this gone? And why?
It was moved to the Opening explorer (little book icon under the moves, or 'E' keyboard shortcut).
not as practical, as it wobbles a lot.... but i hope this is temporary until the load stress is reduced on the server one way or another. It was nice to be aware without having to go consult that table... And for remember which game it is, when you have many in parallel, as the player names do not show when on the move explorer page. In correspondance, it is not rare that I hop from one game to the other to take a break, hoping for a newer look when going back. So, I do miss that label in more than one way. I started to make associations without resorting to rote memory intentions, and it helps understand some of the forum analysis threads.
That's a bad idea to move it to the opening explorer imho. It was far more convenient seeing the opening change it's name when trying out different variations during analyzing the game. Please move it back where it was.
Agree 100% with the above. It's really a shame not to see the opening name in the replays.
