Wait, no, that's not a good idea. We leave obsolete drivers to bitrot. Particularly we try not to touch them unless we have to because there might be a few people still using them and the more we tamper, the greater the risk that something gets broken. On that principle, since there's no real reason to remove the code, it should stay ... until the whole driver bitrots to the extent that we can no-longer compile it. However, I'll do this if the Maintainer (rmk) acks ... because if it breaks he gets to fix it.
