Nether Brick slabs added in the most recent snapshot occupy an already existing and well used metadata.
43:6 and 44:6 have been for countless versions known as "Seemless Stone Halfslabs". While not actually craftable these slabs have been available through mods, /give, server economies and WorldEditors.
By giving the 6 damage value for slabs to Nether Brick slabs you're making some maps not future compatible and leaving them in the past, you're destroying existing builds
by making a black that was offered no longer available and changing it to something that doesn't exist.This issue could easily be solved by giving Nether Brick slabs Metadata 7 instead.
Attached are screenshots of block 43:6 and 44:6 in 1.4.5 and 1.4.6

By giving the 6 damage value for slabs to Nether Brick slabs you're making some maps not future compatible and leaving them in the past, you're destroying existing builds. A build using a brighter seemless slab build will most likely not work if turned so dark.

Regardless of if it's an official block the way it was used by users should make it official, there are thousands people out there who used these blocks and no they're just supposed to kiss their builds good bye? I feel like Mojang should take that into consideration when they add a block ID.
I agree with Oliver's statement. The Minecraft development team has made concessions in the past, I'm just not sure they're aware that 44:6 and 43:6 were ever items.
The Seamless stone slabs are attractive, a lot of people like to use them. There's no reason why they couldn't make them obtainable. 2 Stone Slabs crafted side by side (shaped recipe) turns into 2 seamless stone slabs. 2 Seamless Stone Slabs crafted side by side turns them back into regular Stone Slabs.
Mods have been created that allow you to obtain them, they're included in Feed the Beast and other mod packs, a large number of people are putting these into their maps and they should be supported at this point.
