I don't think this is useful, because it's downstream/fork/distro with
at least 100 patches on top of v6.18 (so not even current mainline!).
Calling a repo "mainline" does not make it mainline and we do not track
distro bugs.

Also, lack of a feature is not a bug which needs to be closed.

Drop the tag.

Best regards,
