Hi all, I'd like to remove floppy drive support from FreeBSD: - The physical media is no longer produced - Computers produced in the last 10-15 years don't have a floppy drive reader - There are still a few open bug reports relating to floppies(!) - Its several thousand lines of code that could be removed Is there any reason to continue supporting floppy drives in FreeBSD 12.0+? -- Eitan Adler
