Option 82 is missing from Secondry lease file incase of failover

Folks, 

If any ISC employee is still monitoring this list, could we get an official confirmation that option 82 data (ie: option agent.circuit-id and option agent.remote-id) is NOT shared during the failover synchronization between failover peers and that this is by design (ie: not a bug)?
