I don't know VMware products well enough to tell, but it has been available
since forever, therefore my suggestion is to just keep it which cannot hurt.

If we really want to get rid of it, we should start printing a warning message
to indicate using the flag is deprecated and remove it one or a few releases
later. IMO it's not really worth the effort.
