I apologize for the delay in replying here, this thread got lost somehow. Just clarified with developers and kernel support has been added as the KCARE-12908 bug report.

Sorry for the misinformation, just clarified it with the KernelCare team and it appears we are still considering to ship it as a free kernel module. Indeed it was not done yet, and unfortunately cannot provide any ETA on this.
