Is this a plead for dropping all rz1000, cmd640, "soundblaster cdromdrive" and other "useless" drivers from the kernel source ? How many people will actually use ham radio ? If you look at it this way you can strip over 80 % of all options from kernelsource, just because it's useless for a vast majority of linux users. I bet you have a windows 95 CD with just the DLLs on it you personally use as well ?
