People with a ThinkPad T23, T30 will really not appreciate this, and it
should not be too difficult to recruit some as testers.

Do you want me to try to recruit testers?  These boxes should still work for
about 5 more years, give or take.  IBM *really* knew how to build stuff back
then...

If no testers show up, then the removal would be well justified.
