I definitely agree with it. Even if I am not in necessary detail about this
bug, all other distros known to me use this feature and it doesn't seems that
they have any issue. 
So it SHOULD stay preserved here (with - for example - security warning during
installation), or at least offer alternatives (with / without this feature). 
It decreases  whole distro in my eyes.
