Please bring back difficulty choice in puzzles

Hello, I am quite long on lichess and was playing only puzzles on "Hard" mode, but now there is no difficulty choise, and on fail I get -20 -25 rating like I am playing on "EASY" mode, but I'd like only "tough" puzzles to stretch my mind.
The new tactics interface is worse than the previous one , although there are no major changes.
It also seems that the Openings Trainer has been completely removed.
Any information , lichess guys??
If they have fixed the bad puzzles it's good enough for me.
Read the blog entry:

"You might notice that the difficulty selector has been removed, this is for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it is not compatible with spaced repetition, but primarily this is because we plan to implement custom puzzle sets and filters. But for this to be effective we need a lot more puzzles to be able to satisfy your various training regimes. So stay tuned for that."

They are planning more changes
Man, they have made it worst!! I lost 26 points for failing a puzzle! This is ridiculous! In another puzzle I only won 1 point. It's impossible to increase the rating now. You can only go down. Please, guys, fix it!
@Asius
That's the point, I was solving ony "Hard" puzzles to keep my rating good and because they are more interesting for me, but now I keep getting puzzles from "Easy" and "Medium" category where I can accidentally lose inadvertently and lose up to 30 points.

Please Lichess, bring back difficulty mode, you can make categorys and etc, but bring this mode back till you develop. I always kep my rating in between 1900-2000 but now Iit's impossible.
You should ask the players what they like. Listen to your members. And please don't change something if it's not for the best. Losing 26 points in a puzzle is absurd! I'm out!
@todo_pro i meant "lower rated puzzle"

@artouiros yes, i also did the same, and sometimes chosed "medium" or "easy" to see how i was doing there. We will see, maybe these changes are better, and people like it more. I also liked to be able to chose the level of difficulty of puzzles, maybe when they develop filters and categories it will be available again
