Since kernel commit f70486055ee3 ("ext4: try to deprecate noacl and
noxattr_user mount options"), we deprecated these two mount options
because no other filesystem used the
But now, acl has been used by ext4 ext2 btrfs f2fs ocfs2 and noxattr_user
has been used by ext4 ext2 f2fs ocfs2.
I think it is time to remove deprecated flag for them.

And many other fs don't have it. Is that your only reason for dropping
the deprecation? I can easily imagine that those fs got it because ext4
had it at the time.
Moreover the deprecation message has been there for 10 years, have we
seen anyone actually complaining that they want to keep it?
Why not to just remove the option. I don't have a strong opinion either
way, but it would be nice to remove stuff we don't need. Do you have a
use case for it? If not, can we make it Opt_removed?

Firstly, sorry for this late reply. I am busy with other important thing
last month.

Maybe.

I don't see any complains since 2018 because I start to test xfs/ext4
since that time

I don't have use case for it. OK, will send a remove patch tomorrow.
