Not just historical.  There's an app I use just about every day which
won't work at all if you don't have that set, and it's not an old
unsupported FPOS.

Me, I hate dealing with the setup stuff for the Compaq SmartArray
units.  The only terminal emulators I've found that'll do it right
on the Mac are things you run in Virtual PC, or the Linux console.

And then you discover that the fuckheads responsible didn't include
all the configuration options in it anyway, so you have to run their
stupidly insecure Insight Manager plus plugins to finish the job off,
*and* it works with a rather limited range of browsers, none of them
on the Mac.
