Well it's a question of whether we're likely to see increasing demand for it in the future. If so then it would be prudent to put some effort into fixing it up rather than removing it.
Seems that's not the case. I don't see a huge rush on this but if after this discussion nobody steps up to take care of the code over the next few weeks, it's best to remove it. - 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/
