Umm ... I'm not sure I agree. We're in feature freeze, not code freeze,
and while we're not expecting to have any new feature patches pushed,
cleanup for features that did make the cut is still fair game. As I
understand, this setLastTid stuff would cause trouble if used with a
non-core table AM. Furthermore, if nothing uses it, what's the point of
keeping it?
