@jtk@infosec.exchange hmmm, I fail to follow your "kind of too bad" in this particular example, as someone from the "installed base" stepped up to maintain the driver -- so it's not like somebody that doesn't want to has to maintain the driver now. So where is the problem? Everybody is happy. Or am I missing something / did I misunderstand your post?

@kernellogger@hachyderm.io That is my expression of how infrequent it is that old tech is deprecated and functionality removed from service. I'm thinking specifically about some cases (not Linux kernel specific) where the continued existence of code or functionality becomes a liability. I'm happy to see this remain if it is still used and maintained without any consequences for the evolution of the kernel. Poor wording choice on my part.
