Haha, I had no idea that this driver was simultaneously being considered for removal. > 1) it claims the following: "...the fact that it was in the kernel tree > SAVED MY DATA." [caps exactly as in original]. This is patently false, I don't know what kind of debate you guys are having or what kind of background there is in this discussion, but it's not like you're using a welcoming tone to new contributors here. Are you guys in the middle of some flamefest of the same type as the inclusionist vs deletionist power-struggle they have over at the Wikipedia every now and then? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deletionism_and_inclusionism_in_Wikipedia All I was doing was hacking some old hardware, and I was having fun, while retrieveing some old pascal programs. Compare the title of a book put out by some kernel developer a while back. Part of this mail seems to be something like review comments, I recommend you send these as replies to the individual patches? As for whether to delete or maintain the driver I do not really care, what I know is that having it around was helpful and fun for this one hacker here.
