Anyways, I suspect at least Takashi Iwai would simply say "no" to
removing or deprecating the in kernel emulation anyway, although it's
not likely to grow features anymore.
Even if he fails to say "no" in such a case, many other people would
stand up and do so :) In Linux we generally do not want to remove
binary userspace interfaces. Breaking (i.e. changing) the in-kernel API
is fine, but breaking the userspace ABI is quite another matter.
