Don't much like having it there either.  Wasn't given a chance to
object.  In any case, it's not on the same scale of waste.  There are
already working video units in the kernel.  There aren't working AR
drivers.  Nevertheless, I would vote to strip the things out if there
were to be a vote.

But then I only have seven Linux systems here, so it's a small vote.
