(Get the code!)
Hi,
while it was a mistake that made it non-fully-enabled in 1.14 (in Groovy) it just is "not available" instead of a provided but broken functionality.
Thereby (even for Groovy) it would be a a new feature which is harder to provide in regard to the SRU policy [1].
Then furthermore this isn't a super common case that affects many users - and (now) a solution is available via upgrading.
But that does not mean you won't have it in Focal at all. Later in the 21.04 cycle I'll rebase the server backports [2] to base on what is in 21.04. From that point on that will be available for Focal and Bionic and regularly updated.
Although to admit - that will be a few months out :-/
P.S. until then - a bit ugly but working fine - seabios is a package without any other dependencies and mostly delivering just early boot binaries. So affected people could just add the hirsute repositories and use apt-pinning [3] to "get nothing but seabios from hirsute".
OTOH - while it is not the purpose of SRUs it is not "impossible" to add features that way. If you can make a strong convincing case why "that benefits from having that in Focal - but also for the same use case, upgrading is no option".
That we could then use to try convincing the SRU Team.
