Yes, that is correct, other than a few prototypes, as far as I know
there are no installations that are really using them, and this would be
the first step in breaking out that support with an eye on dropping that
support in the future. Too bad, what a neat idea. If it turns out that
the support is needed, then it would be an optional package to install.
