The SRU team would not like to see such a large portion of code getting removed after release. One never knows whether there really was nothing that did not still make use of some parts.
I believe 2bf1071a8d5 is needed as a prereq for f08d08f3db5545. Do you think 2bf1071a8d5 will be required to resolve this bug? I can investigate as well to see if f08d08f3db5545 can be backported to not require 2bf1071a8d5.
