I think it would be useful to keep around. Consider someone trying to convert some old app or driver from v4l1 to v4l2. It would be useful for them to have the spec for v4l1 to know what the software was trying to do. You could just point somewhere else, but things move, and that's another link that will need to be kept up to date. And there could be updates to it, like common ways that v4l1 apps violate the spec that you need to deal with when converting to v4l2. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
