Hear, hear. This is a terrible decision. The original Crisis introduced a lot of arbitrary changes, but at least they were changes that improved things, in the sense that readers faced fewer "wait, what?" moments that could be understood only in the light of a twenty-year-old footnote.
As for Booster Gold—the original Crisis was about the time I stopped following superhero books, so I had to look him up. Who in the world thought this clown was a legitimate hero? He stole the gadgets that gave him his powers. (As an aside: what kind of museum puts superpower tech on public display, and entrusts it to a night watchman with a history of Ethical Problems?) Why did he get admitted to the JLI, rather than, say, returned to the 25th century for trial?
