I think we also need to remove

sshd_valid_privseparation = if sshd_custom_user != 'root'
'no'
else
ssh_crypto.valid_privseparation
end
and
def valid_privseparation # rubocop:disable Metrics/CyclomaticComplexity
# define privilege separation set
ps53 = 'yes'
ps59 = 'sandbox'
ps75 = nil
ps = ps59
# debian 7.x and newer has ssh 5.9+
# ubuntu 12.04 and newer has ssh 5.9+
case inspec.os[:name]
when 'debian'
case inspec.os[:release]
when /^6\./
ps = ps53
when /^10\./
ps = ps75
end
when 'redhat', 'centos', 'oracle'

It is not a breaking change since the control stays available. I agree that the version bump for the profile should be major instead of minor
