Yup, we've been discussing on this issue since the Git 2.35.3 (and friends) and Git 2.36 release. https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220426183105.99779-1-carenas@xxxxxxxxx/ I think the last round: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220513010020.55361-1-carenas@xxxxxxxxx/ is more or less done, so perhaps we should start merging it down to 'next' and all the way down to the older maintenance tracks like maint-2.30 that are affected. Thanks.
