Where is the "average" setting in the vector math node?

Question

I'm currently following CG Geek's mountain tutorial and he uses the "Vector Math" node and sets the type to "Average". But with blender 2.8, they removed the "Average" setting so, is the "Average" setting in a different node or is there a new setting in the "Vector Math" node that replaces "Average"?

Blender automatically converts old nodes when copied into newer versions.
So Average becomes Add + Normalize

I think it's gone for good, but this is what it looked like under the hood. I used two texture coordinates as proxies for the input vectors that are to be averaged. You can make this into a node group if you wish, so it's always there.
