What is "failure_prediction_enabled"

I’m cleaning up a nagios 2 config and getting everything ready to upgrade to nagios 3, and i came across a host template that contains “failure_prediction_enabled”. I could not find it in any of the v2 or v3 documentation. Does anyone know if it does anything? or will do anything in the future?

Thanks in advance.
