After considering the arguments from interested parties, the TRB voted unanimously to revert the removal of the timer acqusition code as well as the pca(4) driver. The TRB has noted that the API is not ideal but does not think that it can be removed without any deprecation period while it is in active use. The TRB does think that it would be a good idea to mark the code with BURN_BRIDGES and deprecate it for 6.0. This should give the consumers of this API ample time to implement a more suitable alternative. -- John Baldwin (speaking for the TRB)
