+      The feature was masking the ability of collators to respond with `CollationWithParentHeadData`
+      to validator collation fetch requests. This is no longer needed as validators 
+      have been upgraded to support the new response. `CollationWithParentHeadData` however
+      is only sent by collators of parachains with multiple cores assigned.
