 Yes, the file itself can be loaded by plugins to perform specific but rare
 DB tasks, hence it is one of the few APIs in WordPress that need to be
 loaded manually.

 I doubt there are more than a few plugins which actually use it. I've seen
 some use maybe_create_table() (though dbDelta handles that), etc.
