It's not clear to me if upstream have accepted the patch. If not, https://lists.zytor.com/archives/klibc/2021-December/004635.html sounds like it's a deliberate upstream design decision not to.

In Ubuntu, we might decide to maintain the patch as a delta but then drop that delta in subsequent releases when we no longer need that functionality. This is already the case for >18.04, and for 18.04 we're adding the delta in an SRU.

Therefore, Won't Fix for Ubuntu for the development release I think is appropriate. It it does get fixed upstream then our status can be updated, but either way it's not really relevant to Ubuntu any more.

In comment 22 I asked:

Have you covered this in your test plan please? I don't see this discussed anywhere.

Please could you also update the Test Plan section in the SRU description to cover the testing you are committing to do?

Apart from that, +1, so I'll accept now to save us time. We do need to continue discussion to resolve the Test Plan though. That needs to be resolved to the SRU team's satisfaction before we will release the build to the updates pocket.
