I understand your argument, but it's rather disingenuous when you allow this code to exist:

If you get rid of this block, you'll solve the problem for all boards, instead of nagging people who post patches for unrelated bugs.
There are a few cases where exactly this is needed. The fact that some feature exists does not mean that you should use it without careful consideration of the effects and side-effects.
