Actually, no. You can't rely on having it anyway, because it is currently 
missing entirely, thus in all previous releases, it's missing. Code needs to 
check if that flag is available and only use it if so. If it suddenly goes away 
again, nothing will break. It's even possible to mix code compiled with that 
flag with code compiled without it.
