We decided it's been broken long enough and nobody complained so it
wasn't worth pushing. I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't more than
a handful of people left with a PowerMac 7200 which is I think the only
machine using platinumfb.
Feel free to send it to Linus for .23 if you feel like it though.
Cheers,
Ben.
