Misleading title? This was a feature request which the team feels like is obsolete. The title makes it seem like it was some buggy piece of code they decided to leave as-is.

Disclosure: I work at Google, but my views are my own.

Any notion why this would be obsolete?

I think the "obselete" part is the issue being open from 2018.

@ parent, it doesn't really seem like the title is "misleading" given we know the feature does not exist. although some might wonder if it did, so /shrug.

I suppose I understand, but don't they have a more descriptive tag, like "stale"?
