I vote #3.  My conservative first impulse was to drive towards an is_MP
that returns true always, but remains for the sake of commenting the MP
dependencies in our logic.  But there are so few uses of it, that a few well
written comments could do the same job.  I left a comment on the bug with
a few more details.
