...so it has been broken in 7.0, while it was working before - and it
doesn't work by now. The rest is just semantics.

Do you really want to say, it has been done quite intentionally? If so -
it's not good idea to entirely remove the well-tested code, which was
allowing to use more hardware without a need to disable some useful
features.

But if it really is the case - I can't understand Nate's "join the team"
encouragement. There's nothing to fix, if "nothing's broken".

Yes, currently I had to.
