Maybe it's helpful for you or somebody else down the road. Still a bit unsure if there is anything else I should do with that text. Is written from the perspective of users (otherwise it will sound apologetic) and thus likely not something that would fit into the kernel's Documentation/ directory. :-/ Anyway, there is a different reason why I write: > Maybe that's because this is afaics a situation where a regression > likely will remain unfixed, unless some of us do a bit more than what is > expected from them.

As expected there wasn't any progress (at least afaics). As mentioned earlier. In an ideal world this regression would be addressed, but it looks like it won't come down to it, as nobody is motivated enough to look closer (aka "everybody has more important things to do"). Hence I'm inclined to just remove it from the regression tacking. Or I need to create a category "bisected regressions that nevertheless are unlikely to be ever fixed" in the regzbot webui to avoid the clutter (but this is only one of a few that would fit). Ricardo, how would do you and Kernelci folks feel about ignoring this?
