I think this is partially a misstatement. All of our boxes support
it, it is just that we didn't implement the control at all on x86, and
limited the availability of the control to Sparc desktops.
It would be trivial to make this feature work on *all* platforms.
And I don't think it would not be too hard to design a better user
interface, and let the new and improved interface justify the
deprecation of the cruft we have now.
