REFR was intended to let the system know that it could re-fetch a module in circumstances such as storage going bad or overlays being detected that might impact the module. As things like the ability to load from DCBs that had been opened temporarily became prevalent, it became less practical, and storage was becoming more reliable in the same time frame. It's no longer supported but the attribute has been retained.
