Remember #Linux' pktcdvd driver, which allowed direct mounts with UDF of cd-rw drives that required 32kb packets?
That driver is now scheduled to be removed with #kernel 6.17, as a patch deleting it landed in linux-next today – that use-case is considered uncommon these days, as "the world has moved on from those kinds of media. To make matters worse, it's actively breaking setups where it's not even required or useful."

""We recently ran across a strange higgs-bugson that manifested itself in a critical system […] A higgs-bugson is a bug that is reported in practice but difficult to reproduce, […]
The Linux kernel does not actually implement this cache as suggested by the RFC, so I wrote a kernel patch to add this functionality and mailed it off upstream. I also learned that the FreeBSD kernel actually already implements this, so this is new-to-Linux but not new-to-NFS.

Both of these patches are now upstream and will be available in Linux 6.16.""
