Recently I've posted a tiny pretend-to-be-a-fix for KCM sockets, see
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240801130833.680962-1-dmantipov@yandex.ru/T/#u,
and now I have a question about the subsystem's maintenance status. Since net/kcm
is not even listed in MAINTAINERS, it would be interesting to know whether the
subsystem in subject is actually alive and worth any further development efforts.
Thanks,
Dmitry

Are you using it? If you are, you can keep developing it, maybe
eventually becomes the Maintainer of it.

Maybe float a patch to delete it, and let's see if anyone screams?
The concept KCM implements is really nice, but the lack of bug reports
also has been making me wonder if its in use.

It's possible it's not in use and I suppose we could see what happens.
Hopefully, it won't result in someone reinventing it...
