(That, and it's fun to watch a kernel build blow up because I have an oddball .config for the build :) Convincing a distro to remove it is a different question. And I'm sure they won't be interested in doing so unless you can prove "can't meet minimum requirements and have EISA". Can you name-and-shame some distros, and point at a minimum requirement that can't be met by a box that has EISA?
