Well I also don't think that we should say "this driver...appears to be no longer actively maintained". Which means that I don't like two thirds of the suggested patch, which is really quite a lot for a 27 word patch. Far better would something like "This driver causes kernel panics". And I don't like that either :) Ceri My thinking was that this will be a temporary deal. Either the driver will be dropped, and there will be no need for the man page, and certainly no danger of a user hanging his system by using it, or the driver will be fixed, in which case there will be no need to say that the driver is broken. I referenced the PR on the driver because it is the most direct source of informantion on what is happening with the driver, if there's a better way of getting that info into the man page, or getting people pointed to that info by all means do it.
