Can you please elaborate on this? Why does IBM need this feature in RHEL? AFAIK, they have access to RHEL-AV where the feature already exists among with its fixes. What problem is IBM trying to solve?

The keyword FutureFeature has been added. If this bug is not a FutureFeature, please remove from the Summary field any strings containing "RFE, rfe, FutureFeature, FEAT, Feat, feat".

Since the needinfo wasn't answered in ~6 months I assume it's not that critical and thus I'm moving this to RHEL-8.6.0 where the feature will be picked up by rebase. Moving to POST then.
