Thanks. As you'll have seen from George's development updates we are now well into code freeze and close to an rc0 for 4.4. So every patch needs to come with some sort of justification for why it should be accepted for 4.4 (or have an explicit note indicating that it is 4.5 material). In this case although removing code seems harmless enough it does risk causing build failures, or in the case of the python stuff, runtime exceptions. I don't think the benefits outweigh the risks for 4.4. George? We also have a policy these days of CCing the folks listed in MAINTAINERS. You might find ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl useful. BTW, George while I have you attention -- do you have a standard link which I can direct people to regarding the freeze exception considerations (the "#1 an awesome releases stuff") and the methodology which I've seen you deploy in various threads.
