I don't think that feature is coming back.
If you don't like it, don't use the application build provided.
If you want to change it and make it more secure, use the source, add what you want and use your own custom build.
Simple as that.
EDIT:
What exactly are you worried about?
- That someone will sniff your contacts while you send them? I can tell you it's highly unlikely for many reasons. I know the trouble I went through to replicate the request sent to server.
- That Whatsapp Inc. will have all your contacts and use the data in some way? Then don't sync ever again, use only pushnames.
- Or are you just paranoid and saw a default privacy popup somewhere and now you insist on it? I hope not.
The following statement might ban me from here, but here goes.
It addresses me too, I'm nothing special.
You are not a VIP or a very appealing target. Nobody wants your data and nobody is interested about your chats or contacts. There are more efficient ways of stealing them or violating your privacy then the basis of XMPP.
Please, don't link any blogs here about Whatsapp vulnerability bla bla bla. I've read them all. Yes there are weak points, but to a trained person, it's weak as any other chat protocol with default protection. I'm a beginner and I can easily intrude into many GTalks, XMPPs, Facebook Chats and profiles.
So chill and don't expect a privileged treatment, I'm not getting any, so what makes you think you will?
Peace, over and out.

, let me cry a little about it 
.I will be here some days, but will desuscribe from the thread (and maybe come from time to time, to take a look). Good luck with this great project
.Before saying goodbye I have something more to say: Boobies!

Damn we've had this topic I don't know how many times, that feature is not necessary! If U feel it's necessary don't use this App at all. Or go to Whatsapp Inc directly and have your tiny little strike there and tell them U want that feature, see if U that important to them.
This doesn't bother me at all, who cares what I talk about on my Wazapp to wanna steal it. If U guys have such important numbers and private drug deal conversations U don't want anyone to discover. Stay away from from Whatsapp & esp Wazapp, you not paying for it!

I am not the only who want to protect my privacy (and my contacts' one) as much as possible when ussing Whastapp protocol, I am just the most persistent XDDD.
