Why are the people arguing for removal of the melee jumpswing bringing up realism as an argument when that obviously has nothing to do with the jumpshooting removal? You could argue that jumpslashing should be removed because of various reasons (such as being too powerful vs. cav or whatever), but to say that "jumpshooting was removed cuz of realism QQ, jumpslashing should be removed too!!!oneoneone" is just something you obviously made up.
Good Change, archers can still run back to their own lines, can still kite slow infantry but doesn't autowin as easily vs inf anymore.
Next - I hope they do something about roofcamping.

On the other hand, something I could agree with is giving archers better melee weapon options - fighting archers has (for me) never been fun, (spend 1 min chasing after them getting kited, not fun, but sneaking up on them oneshotting is not fun either, although satisfactory) giving them some means of better defending themselves in melee might just make fighting archers interesting, with kiting nerfed.
