OK, I'll split this into four pieces for scsi-pending, since there are
three separate interest groups with signoffs to collect (MCA, m68k and
alpha) plus the core removal.
Anybody who can look into converting the m68k NCR53C9x drivers and has
hardware to test (some of) them? I don't think we can afford losing one
third of our SCSI drivers...
We can't wait forever, and effort spent maintaining the old
rotting drivers is effort that should instead be spent on
the converted new drivers.
Instead of seeing conversions being written, we've been hearing this
swan song from the m68k crowd forever, it's getting quite old.
I totally object to keeping these things around any longer. And this
I support these changes going in.
