You mean like this? 
2 bolts and it's down on the YJ now with the front cage in place.
On my YJ and CJ5s before that you can see better trail riding and it feels better. Have yet to drop the JKs but give me time.

We have the same problem here. On the trip this pic was taken we did a trail, you know the type still day light left lets do "one more", anyway had we not had the windshield down the frame and window would have gotten trashed on a tight squeeze. 
It rubbed all the way down the roll cage.

The windshield folding has become so complicated, it's almost pointless now. I am betting the next generation Wrangler comes out without that feature.... My old YJ was simple...

I highly doubt they would remove this feature. It is too much of a tradition to remove. It might become even more of a PITA but it will still be there. I have no plans of ever lowering my windshield as i see no benefit of it. But like others have said, maybe I would if it was a tad bit easier.

I wonder how long till the safety nazis and fun police make it so the windshield won't fold and the doors are not easy to take off and the top no longer folds or comes off.

Definitely not something I would do for a couple reasons.
1). would be a PITA to put down... you would only be able to "enjoy" it for a little while then have to put it back up
2). If you actually drive on the road with it its dangerous
3). Whats the point?... I understand TRADITION and what not so I say keep the feature, but its not something I will be doing to my jeep
