Ah, that's a bummer :(. I wanted to ping earlier but stupidly assumed it
was intentional for any reason.

Considering this has been on the list since 2022 and only slightly
changed, mostly touches case-insensitive enabled filesystems, and that
we still didn't enter the merge window (let the alone the -rc stabilization
period), would you consider queueing it on Linux-next today and, provided
there are no merge conflicts, include it in the 6.7 pull request?  I'd
rather not have it sit for another 3 months before inclusion.
