Not a good idea because we don’t know whether a fix will come in time and dropping it from CI can lead to other platform regressions. You’re potentially adding lots of work for other people to get your one patch through. And as said there’s an option of working around by simply keeping the old code for INTEGRITY only if you really want it in 5.15.

Why? If the above is too much work, simply drop the feature for 5.15 and go straight to 6.0.
