Unlikely. IMO the object was clearly meant to be removed, but since the
used PdfReference is destroyed in the process,
that never applied. See the last two lines of the function, it is even
stated in the comment:

All right. I understand the reasoning behind rejecting v2 and v3. I would
like to see v2 being implemented for v0.9.7,
but I fear the info will be forgotten until then ^^.

Greetings,
