It's not optional.
It's required for deployments that need it.  You just said that.

It is sufficiently useful a thing that I, and many others, want to
simply make it required, if we are going to use it at all.

Anyone who wants to sell product into places that might need is going to
have to implement it.  As such, I can see no reason to implement the
synthetic version.  Rip that code out, stop testing it, be done with it.

Assuming that is, that we aren't painting ourselves into a corner.
