Gone indefinitely, until a clean, easy to use implementation can be
written.  I have some interest in writing one, but not unless it can
be done in a much more user-friendly fashion that doesn't need to
spawn a bunch of system processes, and which fully supports storage
groups, the sole storage method of $SomeNearVersionOfMyth.
