As long as still operational hardware support remains. No silly graphics
assumptions in kernel would be nice; _KEEP_ AHA-1540A support (@%^@
Microsoft), and other old hardware support PLEASE!

Take the old (obsolete) software drivers (ext, a.out <joke - no flames
please>, xiafs, and whatever anyone else agrees on). Just out of
curiousity - I've been using ext2 since 0.99.13, and as of that kernel
xiafs and ext were described as 'obsolete'.... (if memory serves)

(in case anyone missed the joke: a.out hasta stay at least 'cause naughty
developers aren't supporting elf 'cause it's too new and not standard (hi
Netscape))

Ciao!
