This experimental option was introduced in 2015 via commit1192294, and the target hook was added in 2020 via commit99e865b6. There does not appear to have ever been a use of this target hook in tree. This code is complicating one of the most complicated and hard to understand parts of our code base, and was an experiment introduced nearly 10 years ago. Let's get rid of it. Note that the idea described in the original patch is not neccessarily a bad one, and we might return to it someday.
