Can we consider this feature obsolete and remove it?
We're usually quite conservative with backward compatibility. If we
remove the feature, we may want to announce it in the next feature
release and actually remove it in the one after (unless we get valid
objection in the meantime).
I'm all for dropping a feature that no one uses if it turns out to be
the case.
