Remember when Jeb made the (originally glitched) seamless slabs a feature after quartz slabs replaced them in 1.5? As of 14w25a, double stone slabs (including these) don't have an item, making them unavailable and effectively removing them from the game. I have no idea why.

I already know that. I've posted a few times on Reddit about this and got downvoted because /setblock. My problem with this is that I use seamless slabs extensively. Using /setblock is ridiculously inconvenient; imagine building a cobblestone house and having to use /setblock for every block you want to place. Another issue is that Jeb made them a feature and they've been removed. No warning, no reason, not even any acknowledgement that this happened at all.
What's worse is that since /setblock exists, nobody cares that this block is practically unusable. It's not a block that you'd want to use only once or twice. It's not a beacon, it's not a portal, it's not even much of a decorative block. It looks like concrete, which is something you'd be able to build walls, floors (though for floors, normal slabs work just as well), buildings, or whole cities out of. It's by far my favorite block in the game, and to see it repeatedly removed (nether brick slabs, then quartz slabs, and now this) for no reason only to then be unable to do anything about it makes me want to bite a crowbar in half.

I agree - looks nice. Stone blocks when crafted/smelted should look just like the double slab.
I have an idea, like the new stone blocks, the normal stone can be put in a 4x4 crafting recipe to make the smooth slabs. Although then I realized that was the recipe for stone bricks. So how about placing stone slabs in a horizontal 2x2 pattern for a smooth slab?
To remain consistent with the new stone types perhaps "Stone" could get a polished form that looks like the seamless stone double-slab block by putting 2x2 stone in a grid. The recipe for stone brick would have to change though. That block should definitely be a thing in the game, somehow, some day.
He talks about homogenus rules. I'm also quite bothered by that. Same withsmelting only some of the ores.
I disagree. He pointed out that mining stone drops cobblestone. (Broken bits of stone.) That is an aspect of realism; breaking a rock does indeed drop pieces of that rock. He also pointed out that it was due to the pick being stone.
Now, as far as homogenus rules goes (fallacies aside), the simplest answer is that it is unreasonable for Mojang to add a cobble variant for the three new stone types if they do not want to. Sure, some people may want them, but others may not (however unreasonable that unwant may be), so it's ultimately up to Mojang.
All of that aside, I would definitely like cobble variants of the new stone types.

Praise be to Spode.

People need to stop trying to play the realism card, it doesn't belong here.
...but that's just like, my opinion, man.
