Oops, I didn't mean for that commit message to sound so harsh but merely
log some brief reasons for the support removal for posterity. However, I
adjust this to orphan status rather than dropping; what is the process
to mark a driver as orphaned?

As for the other Winsystems drivers, I'm still able to test those so I
can continue maintainance of those -- although I'm always open if
WINSYSTEMS would like to join as a supporter, or a user co-maintainer
comes along. ;-)
