Most popular linux distro do not understand the need to have kernel and userland in sync and because of this, the distros that actual use it will tend to handle both kernel and userland themselves. As the userland cross section is rather small now. I recommend that kernel drop it. It’s been an nice run but it’s time to move on.

I'd say just drop it, most people that care about video acceleration just use a graphics chip that can do it for them these days, the few people with crystalhd cards can go out-of-tree.
