--vtzGhvizbBRQ85DL Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello As far as I know all devices supported by gx(4) is also supported by em(4). The em(4) driver also supports other devices and is actively maintained, so is there really a need to keep gx(4) around? I ask now since as far as I know the normal/"correct" policy for removal of a driver would be to mark it deprecated in one major release and then remove it in the next one. So, if we mark it deprecated in 5.X now before 5.3, it could be removed in 6-CURRENT. So, am I missing some reason to keep gx(4) around... ? --=20 Simon L.
