No idea why so many people have an issue with this. The light from the screen means you can pretty much see 95% of th keys anyway...

Actually this is not true. The only way the screen casts any real amount of light on the keys is when it is tilted downwards over the keys. That is not the usual proper positioning of the screen when actually using it. 95%? No way. My overly bright 27" iMac can't even cast enough light on the keys when properly using it.
Also, I like to keep the brightness down and even tilting it downward I can barley see the keyboard...I'm betting they find a way to put this feature back in the next rev...
I agree. I will be surprised if it is not reintroduced within the next two revs. They have to understand the mistake they made by omitting the backlight. Possibly, it was an intentional omission to drive people to refresh their machines.
I will not hesitate to replace my new MBA when the backlit keyboard returns.
