Hi,

I understand the situation is not optimal for users, but I'm really not in
favor of the alternative which is to constantly adjust userspace package
documentation to changing kernel features.

Whenever I rebase a package I would have to check every bit of docs and remove
anything that's not supported by the kernel. Keeping userspace in sync with
kernel is already error-prone, often RFEs are filed against kernel and only
last minute for userspace (which is mandatory if a customer is supposed to use
the feature). Absolutely nobody expects userspace docs to need changes if a new
kernel feature is already supported by the code itself.

If you consider this a significant problem we should solve, please reopen and
escalate this ticket. Because if we are to solve it, we need management in the
boat and I need help with it to still get "normal" bugs fixed.

Cheers, Phil

Close with WONTFIX is all right to me.
