After 6/15, can we still use hotspot as a LAN-only access point?

Does anyone know if this feature will still be available, even if I don't need to allow the connected devices to access the Internet?

It's real convenient to be able to set up a local network on the fly. (I use it to remote control my laptop from a tablet in medium-sized venues)

Curious if the entire hotspot feature will be disabled if there's no way to block outbound traffic.
