Network-related issues cropped up for many Mac users as soon as they installed OS X Yosemite 10.10, and have persisted through every update so far. Rolling back to mDNSResponder most likely means Apple hasn't been able to find a way to resolve the issues introduced with discoveryd.
Since the OS X 10.10.4 update is still beta and not an official release, Apple could reverse course and bring back discoveryd before rolling it out to the general public. Considering the issues Apple has had so far it's likely that if those problems aren't resolved, however, discoveryd will stay on the sidelines for the foreseeable future.
