I'd wait to see it really isn't needed any more.
it was added to cover a gap in which the UI is using logic which exists 
in methods in the business entities (IsLinux/IsWindows/Is64bit, etc.)

which is something we wanted to decouple, and the UI queries expose 
these as queries for the UI rather than use the entities directly.

so i'd say this still isn't fully utilized, rather than deprecated.
