What makes you say it isn't?  I see a lot of commercial projects where extra
pads are left for an ICD-2 connection.  Some just leave pads, some leave a
simple header, and some put the whole RJ-12 connector onto the board,
especially for early debug boards.  The main reason they don't all stick an
RJ-12 connector there is because it takes up too much space and they don't
want to burden a production design.  For early prototypes, however, the
ICD-2 connector is quite common.  I've been putting it on most all my
prototype boards for over half a year now.
