This is not so easy - it was decided that we don't want to remove it just that because of connbytes. The final conclusion was to keep it disabled by default (if not enabled by kernel/modules/sysctl option) but enabling it automatically for the current NS if nefilter rules contains "-m connbytes".

Sorry, I should have gotten into this and finished it earlier, my bad. :(

Best regards,
