Considering removal of cpuset package

Hello. The cpuset package [1] [2] was (is) used to manage cpuset hierarchies. It lacks support for cpuset cgroup v2 though. The package had been useful in times before systemd added cpuset support. The Tumbleweed kernel configuration (and upstream default) disable CONFIG_CPUSETS_V1 nowaday, so there's little use of cpuset package on such kernels. Therefore, I'd like to drop it eventually from openSUSE Tumbleweed (following [3], i.e. this message). Note, cpuset tool can be used for "shielding" by the way of global cpuset migrations, which is possible yet not conventient with systemd too. I personally think it's better to spend efforts on [4] than on keeping the cpuset package. Also, speak up if you have a scenario where you use cpuset (where I assume you must also run custom configured openSUSE TW kernel nowadays). Regards, Michal P.S. Please keep me explicitly Cc'd.
