There is agreement also about the expectation that currently no binary module is using these. Personally I would then suggest removing them right now (as is done in -bk); the longer you wait the higher the chance of anyone out there starting to use them and giving/having a problem a year from now, while the current "damage" is expected to be zero. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
