We're actually going to remove that and I am very reluctant to
add this.

- its a compile-time solution and therefor unusable for distributors

- it might get accidentally enabled by a distributor should he
  be crazy enough to compile packages in a mixed environment

- it will break if we ever get compat support in the kernel
  (which is admittedly quite unlikely)

So I really need some convincing :)
