I wasn't aware of that. So this should be reported as as userspace regression.

It's been years, isn't that too long to claim regression?

Everyone knew it was a regression when it was done. shift-page up is a documented user interface. The IOCTL is documented. consolation already existed. It is never too late to do the right thing.
