They will be compensated in some way... They have to be as they are a rare drop from TD's. They can completely remove the use of the dragon claw special without replacing it with something else due to the sole fact that TD's will become pointless. Jagex don't like to waste content that they have already come up with... I hope they are compensated some how as they are a really cool weapon.
If they took away the harder, time consuming randoms like gravedigger and maze otherwise I don't mind them... The time spent doing them though is hardly worth the reward and they really don't stop bots... Remove them I say!
