They are still not any way actually exposing the FDP functionality
in the standard though. How is your application going to align
anything to the reclaim unit? Or is this another of the cases where
as a hyperscaler you just "know" from the data sheet?

But also given that the submitter completely disappeared and refuses
to even discuss his patches I thing they are simply abandonware at
this point anyway.
