Where is Highlight DOM updates in React Devtools 4.x ?

Up until last week it was still there (was it the old React Devtools 3.x?), and now it is gone. highlightUpdate

Is it replaced by "Profiler" tab?

Found this on twitter, the omission of Highlight Updates was deliberate.

Reading the thread, it seems they are re-evaluating how to signal performance problems caused by re-renders. Till then, they are encouraging you to use the profiler.
