Yup, we've been discussing on this issue since the Git 2.35.3 (and
friends) and Git 2.36 release.

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220426183105.99779-1-carenas@gmail.com/

I think the last round:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220513010020.55361-1-carenas@gmail.com/

is more or less done, so perhaps we should start merging it down to
'next' and all the way down to the older maintenance tracks like
maint-2.30 that are affected.

Thanks.
