It is "just an option" in the installer. You cannot remove it either - there will alway be a need for ODBC, as Dave noted, just because you do not use it doesn't majd it obsolete.
It is also very difficult to remove features in apps as you end up breaking code/apps which rely on them. I think even ParamExists() is still in ColdFusion?! Maybe it was removed in 7?

It was an early request in a past beta and it was done early on but I am not sure it stayed that way. So now it could be just an option during the installation process. I am hoping to get an Admin service approved for CF 8. Wish me luck.
