If all the alternatives actually get removed then there'd be no need for
it, while they're there it is reasonable to have it - it does make it
easier for people like distros to try converting, it means they can
deploy the recommended setup without needing to ship new binaries to
people who run into trouble.  Besides TBH while there's several DSP
implementations in the tree having the code there makes it obvious that
this case works the same way as all the others to anyone looking at the
code.
