Better yet, let's rip it out of -current (I have an lpt-less src/sys tree just waiting to be committed), and stick an #error in -stable's lpt.c saying "This driver is deprecated, use ppbus instead". That way, we give everybody advance warning without risking a botched commit and/or people complaining that their kernel has inexplicably failed to build. In any case, does anybody mind if I go ahead and remove the lpt driver from -current, say, tomorrow?
