KathrynRiechert asked in this thread if there is a timeframe for the return of the Alchemy feature (previously available in Beta).
RevolvingDork says:
KathrynRiechert, not a public one, no — but it’s definitely measured in “months” and not “weeks”.

In response to a question from DanielleDIY about features that have been removed, Chris/Revolving Dork (an Etsy owner, admin, and programmer) says:
RevolvingDork says:
The sampler, which contained the lists you spoke of above, has been gone for a few months — it’s not a new change.As the site grows, we will be adding and removing features as necessity dictates. This is not a strictly “subtractive” process — there are always things being added to the site as well.
For example, when we moved to version 2 in November, Alchemy was taken down, as there was not time to rebuild it in the new system. However, we added shop sections, context-sensitive searching, shipping templates, larger banners, a fifth listing image, a shopping cart, an improved admin interface, kiss and make up, order status checkboxes, conversation tagging, and a host of other new additions. Since then, even more has been added to better serve the community.
We’re working on bringing Alchemy back, in addition to a few other secret projects, but there are a number of more pressing issues that take precedence over those features.
