Until about yesterday, there was only empty space on this particular tab, while the other two were in operation. But now someone at Twitter at least noticed that this was a strange state of affairs, and decided to do something about it:

Unfortunately, instead of simply telling the truth with something like "Coming soon" or similar, they decided to tell us that we're delusional...or something:

Of course a fair number of the over 3,000 people I follow has already used the "New Retweets" function. I see those (slightly weird and still not quite used to) retweets floating by in my stream all of the time. So this is a blatant lie, which contains its own refutation (plus one spelling error) in the same sentence.

Yes, they do appear in my "home" timeline, and no, I still can't view them "here" on this tab.

What would possess them to put this out I don't know, but I have an uneasy feeling about the fact that it slipped out of their design team like this. As in, what are they going to lie to us about next? Surely one would think that some top level UI person there would have caught this.

Sorry if that sounds paranoid, but as you know, the "New Retweets" feature has raised a lot of controversy in its own right, what with its ignoring of the Twitter userbase, and weirdly Orwellian language used to push this down our throats... I mean... sell it to us.

While we're at it looking at these new tabs, the "Your tweets, retweeted" is an example of how additional complexity makes things mostly worse, not better. Since these "new RTs" are not showing up in my "@ mentions or replies" stream anymore, I have to look in 2 different places for RTs.

Also, it is more cumbersome to thank someone for an RT. On the "@ mentions" page where I see all of the "Old School" Retweets, it's a cinch to hit reply and do this.

So we are already seeing the bifurcation that Paris Lemon warned against (made doubly strange since Search.twitter.com still shows the new ones in the old format there). This appears to become cemented in for now, as the new version of Tweetdeck (and likely most of the other Twitter clients) is keeping an option to choose between old and new Retweets on a case by case basis.

Thanks a lot, @ev and @biz. Maybe listen to your community next time... you know... us poor suckers who made Twitter worth several billion $ already. And at least don't lie to us in such a silly way as above.
