I'm good with this change FFE. I've looked through most of the
submitted patch and it LGTM thus far minus unit tests.

As for Ruby's question, I think ASAP given CI issues.

This change may be a big relief for everyone. Since we're very late in the cycle, and the change is on the critical path, I'm making it off by default (except for the CI) with the intend to reconsider it in Ussuri. The patch https://review.opendev.org/#/c/683127/ has been tested locally, I will finish unit tests and a release note tomorrow (CEST) morning.
