It wasn't very popular back then either, so odds are indeed that the
current user count is close to 0. However this isn't the only driver in
that case, and I know of no policy to drop drivers just because of
this. Being able to run on old hardware is a Linux feature.

I think it only makes sense to drop drivers which have been heavily
broken for a long time without nobody complaining, or which would
require a major rework nobody is able to spend time on.
