The breaths have been ditched for treating suspected heart attacks only. In these cases, the reccommendations are you pump away on the patient's chest, at about 100 times a minute, till the cavalry arrives. The the pumping of the lungs by the compression and the occasional breathing by the patient is apparently enough.

One of the main reasons for ditching the breaths was that people were reluctant to start CPR because of the yuk factor of mouth to mouth breathing. Mouth to mouth breathing is still required in cases other than heart attack - e.g. trauma, hence the face shields. It might not happen at the crag either - e.g. you may be dealing with a car accident on an isolated road.
