But maybe the existing builds are fine for RISC OS users? RISC OS is
certainly
still around and in use, with successive new versions of the OS and
support
for a variety of newer hardware.

I have no idea if the specific feature you mention is actually used by
RO users
these days... but how would you find out? If people are using it and it
works,
why would they come along and tell you that?

Probably the best place to find out what the current maintainers of the
OS, and
major apps, think, is to ask here:
