It was applied, and it's in there with #ifdef _DROP_COLUMN_HACK__,
but I believe Hiroshi has given up on that approach as unworkable.
The #ifdef'd code is still there (in most places anyway) because no
one has bothered to rip it out. But I doubt it would work very well
if enabled --- the code mods in the last year or so have not taken
any notice of _DROP_COLUMN_HACK__.
