You really need to brush up on your definition and knowledge of what "legacy" means.
ARC is actively maintained and used by several customers, some in arch/arc/plat*
and some not in there.
It is present in broadband routers used by major ISP, massively multicore deep
packet inspection system from EZChip, and many more....
Sure you may not care about them, but the maintainers for the platforms do.
It would have been better if you had spent the time and energy in improving the
code over 12 revisions rather than bike shedding.
