And no-one told the  packagers explicitly otherwise by the usual ways (like in release announcement). They do read the cmake log though, and usually ask for that listing as RUNTIME dependency.
  
  
  To be specific, this has been added as a runtime check in the 5.18 branch AFTER release of the 5.18.3 tars, so it would only be someone who is doing stable git builds (CI or otherwise) who would have had build logs flag this up.
  
  As far as K/Ubuntu is concerned, this has also been added at a point what we are well past feature freeze for 20.04. Adding a runtime depends/recommends that draws a new package into the default install AND on the ISO needs a feature freeze exception application to be made, and since this is not just that but a persistent runtime daemon, that is doubly so.
  
  Given that this is ENTIRELY optional, and designed to fix a 'problem' that I honestly cannot recall any users raising (at all, or) as a significant problem, then I certainly won't be looking at it until after the 20.04 beta next week, as there are many more important things to deal with for now.
