Hi, I'd appreciate if I could get some approval of https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/5269 (it'll need some trivial adjustment to be applied due to conflicts) that implements the below decision (for some reason people tend to be more generous in adding emojis to pull requests that add new features than ones that remove code).
