This has been there since the beginning if BE systems. NG is aware of it. Its locked and can't be used. We've asked about it. Not sure if or when NG will hid it on BE systems.

No. It's there always, even if RBS are ethernet connected. Should something happen to the ethernet connection, the RBS have wireless to fall back on.
