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
