Any plans for removing totalDifficulty field from the response of eth_getBlockByNumber and eth_getBlockByHash?

I noticed that Geth has removed totalDifficulty field from the eth_getBlockByNumber and eth_getBlockByHash rpc in v1.14.11.

Could you confirm if Alchemy has any plans to remove this field in the future? If so, when can we expect this change to take place?

Can I check this change from any release notes which is provided by Alchemy? (I think the API reference is not always kept to date.)
