for those distros, that want to pull only upstream'd patches, and where

true - the hardware, if you can find it lying around somewhere, may
still function. It won't get firmware updates, nor any mindshare. I'm
not sure where the policy is for upstream - is it truly once known, can
never be taken away ?
Problem is, no-one does.
But I've proposed a micro-conf at LPC in October to discuss exactly
this. You're welcomed to join :-)
It would be good to have a mechanism which would retain the
functionality, but at the same time indicating that for any errors
you might be on your own.
Cheers,
Hannes
