Its one remianing function will be to run scripts when cards come and go. This will likely be subsumed by a devd which will do this more generically, as ell as provide a way to implement the policy of persistance for devfs. pccardc's information gathering functions make sense, but some of its other functions (setting a memory address, etc) do not and will be removed. The power functionality likely is one that can be generically applied to other devices, which would likely result in a more generic power management command in the long haul.
