I'm not suggesting to drop it from existing stable trees. It is just, if
there is no wider audience asking for it and reasoning why, I will drop
it from my queue and not submit it upstream. I just don't want do it

you mentioned that it was needed in the past. If that requirement is
gone and everyone can live without it, I see no reason to pursue it ;)
