--------------------------+--------------------
 The real-time collaboration (RTC) files that were removed in #65205 have
 unintentionally shipped in the 7.0 package due to an issue with the build
 server not fully removing deleted files.

 The `wp-includes/collaboration` files
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/7.0/src/wp-includes no
 longer exist in source control] but they are present in
 [https://wordpress.org/wordpress-7.0.zip the package zip file].

 The impact is mostly benign as the files are not loaded via wp-
 settings.php or instantiated anywhere else, but the fact that this
 happened and nobody noticed it until after the release is a problem.

 This is technically a meta issue but as it affects the released 7.0
 package let's track it here too.

 == Status

 - Not present in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/7.0/src/wp-
 includes
 - Not present in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/tree/7.0.0/src/wp-includes
 - Fully present in 7.0 tag of
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/tree/7.0/wp-includes/collaboration
 - Present as empty files in trunk branch of
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/tree/master/wp-
 includes/collaboration
 - Present as empty files on https://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/wp-
 includes/collaboration/
 - Present as an empty directory on
 https://develop.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/src/wp-includes/collaboration/
 - Fully present in package at https://wordpress.org/wordpress-7.0.zip

 == Impact

 - The developer.wordpress.org reference site is showing the collaboration
 classes as existing since 7.0.0. Example:
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_sync_post_meta_storage/
 - The build server will likely break again when those files are
 reintroduced at a later date.

 I've put this in the 7.0.1 milestone for visibility. I don't know if it's
 necessary to remove those files in 7.0.1.
