State-Changed-Why: 

The actual advantage of using this feature has not been documented to
exceed the very high threshold it has to cross to get to mess with the
shared library mechanism.

There seems no overwhelming reason not to call this creeping featurism
or downright bloat, and the feature is of use only in environments where
you would already have had to hack the sources heavily, qed: perfect
fodder for a local enhancement.
