Fair enough, but can we please have a changelog which explains the
rationale to the people who have not been part of that discussion and
decision.

From the report:

  ...
  [also build test ERROR on linus/master

Linus tree has this interface. So that's not the problem.

Hint #1: The interfaxce is not available unconditionally

Hint #2: The 0-day reports provide the config file which exposes the
         fail

Let me know if you need more hints. :)

Thanks,
