Drill op no longer shows Chipload

setup; 6mm drill, 150sfm/2500rpm at .007ipr/17.5ipm

Not sure Im a fan of this new forced change! I shouldn't have to NOW also get a feed rate calculator to program my drills after 7+ years of F360 CAM.
I don't want to program retract in IPR, and I don't want to swap all my Drill feeds into IPR. For the mill, I program all drills off of a fixed SFM and IPM that makes every drill in the world function properly (ie 35sfm, F2.2 for stainless. This auto-generates an ever increasingly large chipload based on the tool dia)

Another issue is it doesn't auto calculate a unit switch! For instance, I can set it to 20ipm but if I click it to IPR it will say whatever it wants - not the equivalent value that is 20ipm (which at 2500rpm should be .008ipr)

If I go into Show Toolpath Data for this op, it also says it has a feed of 0, and in simulation shows .008" ipr.
