The change you mention is aimed to address some concerns over 
reputation similar to moral rights aspects of copyright.

I believe that this is one of the differences between the 2.5 generic 
licence and the 2.0 generic licence put out by CC last year.  Because E 
and W was drafted when the 2.0 generic version was the standard, that 
element is not reflected in the 2.0 E and W.  I believe that there are 
plans to update this licence accordingly, but I am sure that someone 
from the team can answer this better than I.

The Scottish licence, drafted slightly later in time than the EandW 
licence, complies with the new 2.5 standard:

See section 2.3
"But, if what you are publishing or distributing is a Derivative Work 
or a Collective Work, you must remove any of these credits if you are 
asked to do so by the Licensor and if it is practicable to do so."

Thanks!
