Sorry about the CC, I trusted get_maintainer.pl too much, clearly :(

If you only need a few months I'd strongly prefer to delete now.
We are getting multiple "fixes" for this code a day, and if we don't
delete it now we have to process these fixes for 2.5 more months,
until the next merge window. IOW even if we delete now you have
2.5 months until 7.1 is actually released, and of course LTS is
available, too.
