Dear Albert ARIBAUD,
In message 4F4967CB.5000809@aribaud.net you wrote:
I can't speak for WD, but noone really maintains that code, what else do you expect to do with it? USB support is literally trash.
At least I would expect that the code be frozen (patches declined but existing code kept), not removed.
Freezing code paves the ground for bit rot. We would end up with the same decision just one release later when the bugs start poping up.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
