Seems like this should have happened anyways and LLMs just finally forced them to admit it.

  You're being downvoted but I think you're right in a lot of ways. If you read through the patches for some of the removals, the reasons come down to: - Nobody is familiar with the code - Almost all of the recent fixes are from static analysis - Nobody is even sure if anyone uses the code This feels a lot like CPython culling stdlib modules and making them pypi packages. The people who rely on those things have a little bit of extra work if they want a recent kernel version, and everyone else benefits (directly or indirectly) by way of there being less stuff that needs attention.
