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))
