Sorry, I don't know anything about that feature other than what's in the
documentation.

My guess is that whoever needed the feature only needed it for local
deliveries, and because there is different code to handle the logistics of
local and remote delivery and the remote delivery code is more complicated
(parallel not serial), the feature was only added for local delivery.

You'd have to ask Philip if he can remember the real rationale.
