Sort of true, but since one of the "organizations" in the ward Directory is "All adults", for most practical purposes you do have a ward broadcast.

I am a programmer (but I don't work on LDS.org), and that really doesn't make any sense. The new directory is an entirely new application, written with a totally new code base. The old code won't work with the new application.
Besides, the new tools on LDS.org do have the ability to send a message to the entire stake. It's on the Send a Message feature under Leader Tools on LDS.org. That capability is available only to a small set of people (as far as I know, just the stake president and stake clerk), but it is available. Just because the Church made a decision to restrict access to that feature doesn't mean we should imply that the capability doesn't exist.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.
