[OE-core] is INITRAMFS_TASK still useful, or can it be tossed?

just noticed the following -- here's snippets from kernel.bbclass:
... snip ...
INITRAMFS_TASK ?= ""
... snip ...
# NOTE: setting INITRAMFS_TASK is for backward compatibility
# The preferred method is to set INITRAMFS_IMAGE, because
# this INITRAMFS_TASK has circular dependency problems
# if the initramfs requires kernel modules
image_task = d.getVar('INITRAMFS_TASK', True)
if image_task:
d.appendVarFlag('do_configure', 'depends', ' ${INITRAMFS_TASK}')
... snip ...
if [ "$use_alternate_initrd" = "" ] && [ "${INITRAMFS_TASK}" != "" ] ; then
# The old style way of copying an prebuilt image and building it
# is turned on via INTIRAMFS_TASK != ""
... snip ...
i have about a dozen layers checked out and the only other place i
see that variable used is:
meta-oe/meta-initramfs/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto-tiny-kexecboot_3.10.bb:
INITRAMFS_TASK = "${INITRAMFS_IMAGE}:do_rootfs"
so has INITRAMFS_TASK been obsoleted by INITRAMFS_IMAGE? or is it
still worth hanging onto?
