As I said, I don't really care that much about it, but it would be nice
to have some actual justification for WHY it should go out asap. It's
not really about risk.
Because as part of the overall huge loop discussion it has resurfaces
how broken it is, and how it is in the way of how the loop driver works.
Milan for example has argued for just removing it ASAP because of that,
but I guess providing at least a bit of time of deprecation would
be nice. Then again given that state I'd be perfectly fine with just
removing it in 5.16 without much of a warning either.
OK fair enough, I'll queue it for 5.14.
