Was the requirement for heat and smoke venting removed in a sprinklered F1 , S1 building? If so, can someone provide a link to this?

Re: IBC 2009 changes affecting fire suppression systems
Thanks I saw a lot of proposals from removing the requirement to going with FD operated exhaust fans only. I then checked the 2009 IBC and saw it was still in as in the 2006 version. Anyone know what happen and why none of the proposals were accepted?? Requiring Heat & Smoke vents seems to go against a lot of testing done as well as what NFPA 13 and FM says about smoke vents in a building with a sprinkler system, basicly no advantage and perhaps not a good thing at all.
