It wasn't mentioned as dropped in the 'HTML5 differences from HTML4' document last week or in the previous whatwg differences doc [1]. But now I see that it is in fact listed as dropped [2]. Guess I need to read the actual spec closer. Maybe we need a differences of the differences document ;-) Anyway, what rationale for dropping longdesc?
