I would say it is fairly critical. The EBS functionality (on which the block device attach/detach functionality depends) is a pretty important feature. Without, data persistence is not obvious. For example, you would run MySQL in the cloud by keeping table data and indices on an EBS volume.
Not Dan, but here's my take anyway.
