If they added it, its either because more people asked for it to be added or they are simply trying to make it more Zune HD like. IIRC, this is how HD worked, but i can't test since I gave it away. Personally, I like that they added it. I listen to music a lot. I can just continue from where I left off, which is usually using Smart DJ. So am I an appologist for liking this feature? I don't think so. I WANT this feature. But if it disappears, I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Its only going to add an extra tap or 2 to start up Smart DJ again from beyond the volume bar. So if it will appease your OCD, why not suggest at the MS suggestion site? Or you can get it done sooner and download the app that someone suggested.
