IC, testing/maintaining non-trival changes is a different situation.

But it would still be nice to announce such removals/breakings in advance,
cfr. Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt. At least we knew the old
NCR53C9x core was going away, taken with it all drivers depending on it...

Anyone who cares about these drivers (ser_a2232 and vme_scc, perhaps
others?)?
