"If you don't see an ethical problem in removing a working driver which is not taking support resources, in order to force people to test and debug a driver they don't now and never would need, so that it might in time offer them the same functionality those users already had... then I can never make you see why technological extortion is evil."

— Bill Davidsen, in a February 16th, 2008 message on the Linux Kernel mailing list.
