No, it was always part of the exiscan patch.

I think you may be confused, at least I see no such examples in the
documentation. "decode" is valid only in the MIME ACL, while malware
is valid only in the DATA ACL.

Supposedly, everything "demime" can do can be done using the more
general capabilities of the MIME ACL. But if it ever does disappear,
I will sorely miss it as it is a much simpler and more
straightforward UI for the things it does.
