For the record, it did not happen in 19.11.

The progress in April 2019 was 4 of 46 (9%).

> Please let's progress smoothly on this topic, thanks.

More than one year later, the progress is 26 of 53 (49%).

> The concerned maintainers (Cc) can be found with the following command:

We cannot wait forever. Temporary cannot be longer than 2 years.
I am going to send a deprecation notice to remove the "temporary"
flag RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE.
It will break drivers which are not migrated.
It will probably help to find motivation in new priorities.
