Hi,
I agree that proper support for none modified boards is far better and I 
am always for having such support in tree. what i am failing to 
understand here is why it is so important to remove this support or 
none-support patch from the tree ? in general our stance was that if 
there is at least one user we'll try to carry the functionality as long 
as we can. So why not remove this when a better replacement is in place ?
     John
