Is DXUTIsInGammaCorrectMode() deprecated?

In MAKE_TYPELESS( DXGI_FORMAT format ) it checks for:

DXGI_FORMAT MAKE_TYPELESS( DXGI_FORMAT format ){if( !DXUTIsInGammaCorrectMode() )return format//........

In DXUTIsInGammaCorrectMode() it returns:

GetDXUTState().GetIsInGammaCorrectMode();

In GetIsInGammaCorrectMode(); it just returns a bool member and in the DXUTState object the only place where that bool is referenced is the constructor where it's set to true.

Does this mean that DXUTIsInGammaCorrectMode() is always true no matter what?
