Or "if you are using something that requires the 1.3 firmware, you can just fuck off and die", along the lines of what we say to users of the 2.4 kernel? We shouldn't drop stuff from linux-firmware.git until there really is *no* reason to need it any more. We shouldn't force people to keep linux-firmware in step with their kernel; they should always be able to use the latest. When I get home from Tokyo I'll be working on a way to specify min/max kernel versions for each firmware image, along with a 'make install' target which lets you say "drop anything which is only relevant to kernels < 2.6.35' or whatever. -- dwmw2
