As per [1], the difference reported in the bug is seen due to a pair of patches carried by Fedora/RH.

This seems to be a feature (not a fix), therefore, I am not sure if this would be suitable for an SRU.

The patch proposed in [1] seems to be under review for a long time (and parts of the patch have landed upstream over the years).

The last upstream comment [2] (from Jan. 2020) states that the patch is obsolete. Moreover, the Red Hat bug mentioned in their spec file which points to the bug where the patch was likely discussed and proposed is private [3]. Therefore, I wonder if we want to introduce this feature in 22.04 (LTS) or wait for further upstream feedback in [1].

Since the next steps are not clear, I am removing the server-next/server-todo tags from the bug.
