It was easily my second favourite map and I was upset to see it removed. I can guess that the reason was the possible exploit. The exploit did not bother me enough to even consider having it removed; compared to other exploits (on say, DR) it is a minor one and was easy to report. We used to have a version of the map on which the exploit was inaccessible, but at some point it was replaced with the bugged version again, for reasons which to this day are unknown to me.

I'd like to see watchtower added back to the map pool, preferably the version on which the exploit is impossible. If it turns out that the fixed version was removed for good reason then I'll settle for getting the version we just had back. Neither the decision to replace the fixed version with the exploitable version nor the decision to remove the map entirely was discussed with the community, and I for one am a big fan of the map and do not want it gone. And considering that it was played quite often I'd say it had quite the following among the wider playerbase too.

EDIT: I wasn't sure about putting in a poll quite yet, but if this is deemed useful an admin can add one.
 
As it was added as a task in the todo-list, I did only see two options; remove it or fix it.
I didn't remember the fact that it was actually fixed some time ago. Yes, it's strange that it was changed back to the original one, which could be exploited. I feel like the task was horribly rushed, now that I think about it, since I mentioned two options that I found out that could work out.
Again, if I remembered the fixed version existed, I would gladly add it as an option to replace the current one with the fixed one.

Now that you've mentioned it, I'll add it to the todo-list.

if i do remember correctly the fixed version had a useless easteregg feature which i dont like, therefore i changed it back to the normal one back the days.
 
I don't remember ever having seen an easter egg on watchtower. Do you remember what it was, or at least if it disrupted gameplay in any way?
