Do we need to be aggressive in deprecating this? The estimatesmartfee is still in BTC/kB, so merging this would force all users to do the conversion themselves (or force to pass -deprecatedrpc).

Several reviewers gave feedback that this would be good to fix. If that includes updating estimatesmartfee for a coherent whole, then, like this patch, it's fairly trivial to write and review. If reviewers prefer to hold off, I'll update this patch for 0.22.

Update: currently following the plan outlined in #20484 (comment).

Where? I am the first one to comment on this pull.

Regardless, the feature freeze of 0.21 has been a month ago, so I stand by my NACK (at least for 0.21). For 22.0, this could be reconsidered.

In #20305.

I agree it makes sense to do this fix as part of the described larger plan, but I hope users won't find it too confusing between now and when the fix arrives in a release.

Removed milestone for now

Update: currently following the plan outlined in #20484 (comment).

This pull proposed to deprecate the feeRate option in fundrawtransaction and walletcreatefundedpsbt to avoid user confusion with fee_rate, as the two params have different units (BTC/kvB and sat/vB) and very similar spellings. However, review has been negative, the plan is currently somewhat stalled, and there has been no interest in resolving this. I think it was necessary to at least propose a solution, can re-open if/when there is demand.
