Please get your facts straight before you panic. The wd driver has been
removed from 5.0-Current, as was advertised previously. It has not been,
and TMK will not be removed from 4.0-Stable.
Anyone wishing for support for their hardware in the ad driver that
doesn't already have it should be working with Soren to make it happen.
Otherwise, whining about it next year (when 5.0 becomes -Stable, or
whenever) will be silently ignored.
