Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-6689:
-------------------------------------------

bq. So we can go both ways - remove it completely from the allocation type enum 
and don't support it or leave it in place and add it to documentation 

Why are those our only choices?  It's the way it is for a reason; for a very 
few users, it's legitimately useful for running on the Azul JVM or for creating 
huge numbers of CFs, but for mainstream users it's a Very Bad Idea.
