No it isn't.  Its just like any other optional feature.  If it stays
unmaintained for too long it just gets removed from the kernel, this
happens all the time.  This is another one of those non-issues that isn't
relevent to this discussion but is being used to avoid the real issue.  Go
waste someone else's time, Jim.
