It is fine with me if we leave the delay as it is for 5.3-release.
I would hope we could lower it in time for 5.4-release, and not
have to wait until 6.0!

"We" could at least start on this.  Break out SCSI, and see how
many bikesheds we will build before everyone is happy with that.
The "we" means that I have no immediate plans to tackle this...
I have no objection to the idea, but I am busy with other projects
right now.

If we can not sort out the files in time for 5.4-release, then I'll
certainly be willing to edit all the kernel files to change '15'
to '5' or '6'.  I'm willing to do that (in HEAD) right now...
