#1. I've not suggested EOF'ing any support for CF! That would clearly
be a bad idea.
#2. Cardbus != PCMCIA. Cardbus is much better, behaves like PCI, and
gets PCI-like speeds. PCMCIA is much closer to ISA.
So if I can eliminate pcata because there are good cardbus readers, or
USB is adequate, then I can remove a fair of rather complex code. Its
not a priority for me at the moment, but if I were to undertake other
"cleanups" in the pcmcia framework, it would be one less significant
chunk of code that I'd have to touch.
