I'd agree it isn't worthless, the specification is not yet confirmed to be put on the Note track and there are indeed applications that use it. Furthermore the code used here might as well be reusable when implementing the future file system specification (if there'll actually be one).

Despite all that, enabling this feature for the GTK port was on my personal long-term todo list but I won't really be picking the work up until the specification status clears up (though there might be someone else that will do the work, of which I'm totally supportive).
