Because a _deprecated_ feature in the kernel is busted, you mean?

The answer would be 'maybe'. I can't say; I don't know what needs it. I
have a crappy workaround which disables _some_ of what
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED does, but I don't know if that's the bit which
this obsolete userspace stuff is using.

Bug numbers or more details? The workaround of which I speak is
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227893#c9
