"normally" we have been giving code a chance by having it live in drivers/staging/ for a bit before removing it to allow anyone that actually cares about the codebase to notice it before removing it. We've done this for many drivers and code-chunks over the years, wimax was one recent example. Just trying to be nice :) thanks, greg k-h
