How long ago was the original entry added? If it was very long ago, I would be inclined to think that some of the newer fixes would make it unneeded. If it's more recent, then maybe we should leave it. That said, if we yank the entry and look for the regression, it's not really a tragedy for anyone who uses this device. We could just tell them to add the entry back in. It's only one type of device that is affected. I would yank it, and be prepared for possible regression reports.
