Not supported by newer kernels? Or "if you are using something that
requires the 1.3 firmware, you can just fuck off and die", along the
lines of what we say to users of the 2.4 kernel?
We shouldn't drop stuff from linux-firmware.git until there really is
*no* reason to need it any more. We shouldn't force people to keep
linux-firmware in step with their kernel; they should always be able to
use the latest.
When I get home from Tokyo I'll be working on a way to specify min/max
kernel versions for each firmware image, along with a 'make install'
target which lets you say "drop anything which is only relevant to
kernels < 2.6.35' or whatever.
