That was one thing I never understood, why did people doubt that the Grey Havens would be in the ROTK. That is one of the most touching and beautiful parts of the book, and additionally it is one part of the story that will translate beautifully to film. It is part of the main storyline that the filmakers decided they would tell (you know Frodo getting the ring to Mordor and everything). The reason that the scouring is gone is because they thought that it was not part of the main storyline and would take too much time to tell, basically the main reason old Tom B. got the boot too.
