We use it exclusively and I document it fairly completely under the Friday July
28th entry at http://www.internode.net/HoneyBee/Diary/Diary072200.htm
there are links there to the BEE-L archive articles on the topic which are quite
exhaustive.

FWIW, in our discussions, the term 'abandonment' is used and the word 'abandon'
is an appropriate key to use in searches.
