Thanks Martin for the update.
It would be better to announce the removal a release in advance,
to let possible users know about it and cover themselves.
This is what our device deprecation policy.
I'm sorry for that, I've missed that point.
But for this case, keeping the driver in this release will mean
to maintain it in the LTS for two more years. Because of this I am
OK to remove the driver, but cc'ed techboard for any objection.
Also I don't know if device was available in the public market,
what is the chance to have the users using this device without
your company's knowledge.
The devices were sold and supported directly by the Netcope
Technologies. I asked them about driver removal and they think it will
not affect any customer.
This is what I was expecting, so the impact of removal is minimum.
