Is there a keyboard shortcut for the "Invert Colors" accessibility option in Mountain Lion?

In Lion and previous versions of MacOS, the "Invert Colors" accessibility option could be toggled on and off with Control-Option-Command-8. In Mountain Lion, this shortcut appears to have disappeared, and is only accessible via System Preferences. The other settings for zoom and toggling zoom still work normally, however.

Can the invert colors option be controlled via keyboard shortcut in Mountain Lion?

You can also press Command - Option - F5 to bring up the Accessibility options shortcut.

Not sure why I didn't think of checking the shortcut preferences earlier, but I just want to know why we should all of a sudden have to do this? Why is Apple "fixing" things that aren't broken? 😠 Loosing faith with every update...
