 Forwarding To Relevant People.
(Have been unable to respond to previous talks, many apologies for
the late input.)

Noticed in the previous conversations that it was mentioned nobody had
complained of it being removed, I do understand that everything must
be taken out eventually...

But I still wanted to ask that it remain active in 5.18's full release
while announced that it would be inactive/turned off by default in the
future 5.19 & 5.20 releases (5.20 being the last that would have it as
inactive before full removal of related code) if LTS

I feel that would be considered a fair & reasonable 'heads up' and
provide a modern LTS version of the kernel that has the function still
available by default.
This is just a simple request from an interested user of Linux that
wouldn't be as qualified or experienced as some of the others involved
in the decision making process & I always would of-course respect
whatever final decision that everyone lands on after the discussions
are closed. :3
