I assume when you mention the "current version", you don't mean
2.0.46. The current non-beta is 2.2.3 and the current beta is 2.3.10.

I'm curious, how do you know SaveUnders is removed?

Somewhere around 2.3.5 SaveUnders was removed as a configuration option,
but I still see code that sets the SaveUnders attribute.
