Why not?

The kernel still has a.out support (although we may not build it.)

OSS was the kernel's sound API for roughly 10 years. Even if it is
deprecated, it's hard to kill something like that.

Code is short and APIs are forever.

Monty was sounding pretty optimistic about using FUSD to really do OSS emulation right.
