I’m not saying it is wrong because it is impossible this will ever be implemented. It’s wrong because after 7 years the probability of this being removed are somewhere near 5% which is “unlikely”.

And given how nitpicky we tend to get on clarity and succinctness in other aspects of the documentation having this seeming surpurflous and misleading sentence present seem to go against the grain.
