That is to say that shared lines were not supported for agent DNs, but were supported on an agent's phone.  Meaning any line but the IPCC extension on an agents phone COULD be a shared line.

Typically those would experience "unexpected behaviors" so it is better to block the configuration earlier and avoid the poor experience for the user and administrator on the backend.
