Neither the Reddit discussion nor this report provided a recipe for reproducing the problem. In particular, what do you mean by "Opening files via tramp/ido"? Also, executable-find is a function, not a variable, and it is defined on files.el which is preloaded into Emacs. So it is unclear to me how Emacs 28 could show such a message. Which is why a recipe to reproduce the problem is necessary if we are to do anything about this issue. Thanks.
