I don't follow the argument that some edge case stuff outside of core requires the project to have additional (as of now not time limited) maintenance effort - if there would be a clear plan to remove that before kirkstone release I might agree, but with the release looming this all feels like abandoning the commitment for the upcoming release.

it is about many layers e.g. meta-oe, meta-xfce, meta-python and
perhaps many more that I have not come across yet.

Then please provide a list what is failing, just so people, such as myself, can see the necessity of this change - as of now I didn't see any technically sound proof that this needs to be in core

We want to enable a
wider ecosystem and we
do carry features in OE-core to do so from time to time. Core in
itself is a reference distribution, its not meant to carry just what
it needs to support a minimum distro
it serves as a baseline for many distros which may include other
layers. At times we do put specific features in specific layers, this
is not one of those.
