Is anyone really going to pay attention to that? It doesn't sound like
there's anyone to really care, and it is the company that made the h/w
asking to remove it. The only thing people use pre-production h/w for
once there's production h/w is as a dust collector.

If anyone complains, it's simple enough to revert these patches.
