I must admit I also find this option a bit puzzling.

However, I'm wondering what happens if a manufacturer specifies
the bad block mark is in some page at the middle of a block.

AFAIK, some of them do exactly that, and I've always thought
this option was the solution for such cases.

So, is this really no longer needed?
