ofcourse yes. I also donot want to be a maintainer of half converted
subsystem. :)
i am thinking, after it is in the linux-next for a few days and seeing
any effects of these changes I will start with the other drivers.
and after all drivers are converted and that is also in next for sufficient
days I will start with the cleanup of the old codes.
And then there are some pending bugs in bugzilla. I am also planning to
add the code for epst in paride (i saw in many forums that people are
not able to use their scanner on latest kernels).
