Please shout if you have any objections.

Isn't that a bit late?

It can always be reverted...

I'm a bit annoyed that Arnd doesn't announce such removal requests
on the proper lists? This is something that should be asked among
the retro community, not on some random Linux mailing list.

And, FWIW, I am against removing AppleTalk because it actually allows
you to build your own TimeMachine server using Linux [1]. It's really
useful for backing up macOS machines over the network.

Thanks, good to know!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
