The point of the feature is to move the focuser to a position that approximates focus for a filter, for a sequence. I usually run flats on a different night and having the focuser move to the right position at the right temperature is handy to me.
That said, I don't really have a lot of time to work on it right now. If it's half baked it's very easy to remove. This is part of what we do in betas (test stuff out).
