There has been a HUGE changeset applied between 5.10.118 and 5.10.119 and while
not entirely certain, I'm quite confident that this change was intentional. 
That and the severity of the bug I'm merging it with has severity normal, is
the reason I'm downgrading the severity to normal.
I'll leave it up to the maintainer to adjust it if needed.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220317232804.931702-1-Jason@zx2c4.com/ is 
probably the closest match of the 'cause' of these changes, but there's a good
chance that several patch sets were involved.

Here are some more 'random' threads I have found:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220201161342.154666-1-Jason@zx2c4.com/

And as already mentioned in the bug I'm merging it with, you're not the only
one who noticed:
