The intent is to indicate that new legacy installations are not
supported, regardless of how one gets there.  Mechanically, there are
few ways to actually *prevent* these installations[1] - rather, we send
a message that this is on its way out (i.e., deprecated) and that it's
time for users to consider migrating their setups.

So the direct answer is: yes, probably, if you're willing to work at it
hard enough.  But it wouldn't be supported.

Be well,

1: Even if I wanted to, which I don't, it's not that hard to re-enable
   anything we might turn off just by doing local builds.
