Is dptfxtract still needed?

The thermald man page says this:

> In some newer platforms the auto creation of the config file is done by a companion tool "dptfxtract". This tool can be downloaded from "https://github.com/intel/dptfxtract". It is suggested as parts of the install process, run dptfxtract.

The dptfxtract gibthub project (https://github.com/intel/dptfxtract) says Intel discontinued the project.

Found it out myself, it is not needed by recent thermald. The ReadMe says this:

> Thermald version 2.0 and later has in built parser for thermal tables. So this utility is not required. Make sure that thermald "--adaptive" option is used.
