I don't think it's so binary. AFAIU (and recall also Linus saying that) it's ok to make things less optimal for older/less common hardware, if that's the cost to make the kernel better for the major ones. So that's why we're e.g. discussing removing CONFIG_HIMEM which could limit how much physical RAM some 32bit architectures can use. Or we can have new features e.g. 64-bit only. We can call that older/less common hardware "legacy" or "museum" or whatever, I wouldn't say it's diminishing it, just stating a fact. Of course the devil is in the details so that probably to some extent depends on what exactly you mean as "requirements" above. AFAIU the conclusion here was already that ipv6=m isn't consired one for Amiga to stay, and it's enough to have ipv6=n there. > If you do not want to care about that hardware, don't use arguments > "legacy" in discussions, but simply drop it.
