great. I guess there is no other bug report for this request and we
can use this bug to track that activity. I am not sure if the
kernel-team is aware of the request and if they agree with that. I
have added Ben in the upstream discussion for his comment.

I will do an initial packaging over the weekend unless you have
already done this or want to do the same.
