No, it is not. As the feature is only relevant to quite non-standard use
cases, it has not been a priority. See http://osmocom.org/issues/2542
In general, operating a network without your own SIM cards is highly discouraged
in just about any environment. You cannot authenticate the subscriber, threfore
you're vulnerable to all kinds of spoofing, impersonation attacks and fraud.
Also, you never know where such cards with IMSIs from third party operators will
try to register. they might get rejected with "illegal sim card" from another
operator, resulting in extremely unreliable and dissatisfactory user experience.
