Is there any new "compliance requirements" (sanctions I suppose?) that made this happen? Or is a delayed change since the sanctions started?

  It’s surprising to see that there are any compliance requirements Linux adheres to.

  The latest change would be EU sanctions that disallow export of technology from March 2024: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/05/17/microsoft-blocks-russian-corporate-clients-from-cloud-services-vendor-says-a85150 https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/05/17/microsoft-blocks-r... But this change here feels like there was pressure from the DoD or White House. A lot of sanctions seems to be introduced and enforced informally.

    That cited change is actually from December 2023: > The ban complies with the EU’s 12th sanctions package adopted in December, which ordered companies in and outside the bloc to stop exporting products and technology to Russia by March 20. That would mean that either A) it's not what triggered this change or B) the kernel wasn't legally following compliance requirements for almost a year But besides that, that sanction is between EU<>Russia, not sure if that would ultimately enforce the kernel to implement those compliance requirements, unless also agreed and followed by the US.

  I'm wondering does the latest events of N.Korean troops joining the attack against Ukraine have something to do with this?
