We already stated that we wont change it by marking this bug as wontfix.
We also told youd that it is your turn to pursuade upstream.
The export of this low-level functions was revoked because it was often
used in a wrong way. The safe alternative is still exported, however
marked as gpl-only. It is up to you to pursuade upstream to change the
still existing export, which should be possible, but this needs do be
done by you. After upstream applied it we can cherry pick this chane.
