Contract deploy doesn't use the node's own solidity compiler

If I have a locally running node and the wallet attaches to it, I'd expect my local solc compiler to be invoked through my local geth and not the bundled one. This one is important to allow using a fresher compiler than one included in the wallet (or simply a different version). However the wallet seems to use it's JavaScript solc compiler, which currently is way behind the latest release.

Since the eth_compile RPC method was removed, isn't this issue kind of obsolete now?

The node never had its own Solidity compiler. It only ever used solc found in your PATH.
