Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Timer was removed for the following reasons,
- The platform did not support notifying the user when the timer was over. As a result if the user set a timer for 15 mins and the screen turned off, the clock app was suspended and even if the timer was over, there would be no audible notification.
- The clock redesign was done in the end of July 2014 while RTM milestone was planned for October 2014 giving me about 2-3 months to rewrite the clock app. Since reaching the RTM milestone we have been focusing on bug fixes and been in maintenance mode.
I can get started on this when I get a design for the timer feature and also the platform supports waking up the device to notify the user. I am afraid I cannot give a ETA for this.
