With the introduction of _ilm/stop and _ilm/start APIs, the use cases where one would only target a select group of indices to start/stop has been reduced. Since there is no strong use-case for skipping specific indices, it is best to remove this functionality and only adding if later desired, with the hopes of keeping things more simple.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
LGTM too, assuming CI is green.
One note: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/index-lifecycle/x-pack/docs/en/ilm/pause-resume-ilm.asciidoc still mentions that "ILM can be skipped on a per-index basis", but since that isn't actual documentation yet it's probably fine. This doc is changed in your other PR, ignore this comment.

We want to be able to skip specific indices in ILM again for elastic#109206. This is essentially just a revert of elastic#34823.
