That is correct and by design.  Because we're in the process of
switching it off, but not yet at the place where we can totally remove
it from implementations.  Thus, the guidance is to operators to say
"stop using this" but for implementations, until the operators actually
really finally do stop, it needs to keep its implementation status as
available.

This is an annoying state to be in certainly, but the alternatives would
cause resolution failures for at least a small fraction of the planet.

I read your description of the problem, but don't think there is one
based on your description.  So I'll come back and read it again later
once I'm less jet-lagged.
