Upstream removed it because the internal API's in IPS it used changed and
no one was left to update the GUI.

You can choose between getting new code from upstream or keeping the old
GUI, but the only way to have the GUI with new upstream code would be
someone stepping up to take ownership of keeping the GUI up to date with
the private/uncommitted IPS internal interfaces it relies on.
