b43 vs b43legacy

Hi,

what's the difference between b43 and b43legacy ?

>From a first point a view, it seems b43 is for core >= 5 and b43legacy for the
other.
There is also firmware difference : b43 need v4 and b43legacy need v3.

But v4 firmware seems to support core 4 (pcm4 & ucode4) and b43 code got some
support for old chips (<5).

Is the split was made because nobody know how to use firmware v4 with core 4 or
because core 4 it so different from newer core.
In the latter case why code for older chip (<5) is not removed from the driver ?


Thanks

Matthieu

PS : sorry if the answer is already available on internet, I try to search it
without finding anything.
