This is a great move, IMO.
I actually disagree. While the 5th book may have been great for fans, since it went into all kinds of background stuff, it was frankly quite flabby from a writing perspective. I don't mind at all, since I find it interesting and read fast, but I certainly understood how most of it ended up out of the movie.

Frankly, there was a metric ton of stuff in the book that wasn't integral to the central plot of the books, and they got rid of it. Made perfect sense. And the movie was by no means short as it was.

Kind of like the LOTR movies dumping Tom Bombadil.
