-:Description:
-    This option controls whether legacy datatypes are loaded from
-    installed tool shed repositories. We're are in the process of
-    disabling Tool Shed datatypes. This option with a default of true
-    will be added in 22.01, we will disable the datatypes on the big
-    public servers during that release. This option will be switched
-    to False by default in 22.05 and this broken functionality will be
-    removed all together during some future release.
