Dunno about MCA but I doubt we can kill all of (E)ISA. i8253, i8259 and a few others still refuse hard to die. Is it worth to setup a system to track success / failure reports for drivers and ditch drivers once there are no success reports for a driver for too long? It may not be a good idea - people tend not report success much more rarely than failure. (On that matter, I wonder if there are 5.25" USB floppy drives ...)
