Your tone is not acceptable. Please try again, only this time with the
required level of professionalism. I'm not an idiot, and you will treat me
with respect.

This driver was flagged for removal in 12 ages ago and the port failed to
update to take that deprecation into account. So this tone is out of line.
You can use the bump to 1300000 as the version to fix it. I didn't bump the
revision because it wasn't needed.
