Clearly it takes the threat > of removal to get some kind of motion. Or the use case of a preempt kernel on said arch has never been a request. Just because it was available doesn't necessarily mean it's required. Please, let's not jump to threats of removal just to get a feature in. Simply ask first. I didn't see anyone reaching out to the maintainers asking for this as it will be needed for a new feature that will likely make maintaining said arch easier. Everything is still in brainstorming mode. -- Steve
