Can I at least get a firm yes or no whether the maintainer will
accept this capability or not?
What you ask would require defining what a "real world scenario" is, and
I don't think that's a good discussion to have right now. Even if we did
know the
definition, I do not have the infrastructure in place to do an exhaustive
search of such a workload.
My personal view is: new software should define APIs, not hide APIs.
The capability already has a default 'true' value, which is the same
behavior
that the value has always been and nobody's threatening to get rid of that.

real-world scenario, and throughput numbers for the same real-world
scenario with/without is_dup_page(). Once you show that, yes.
