He already did. The deep legacy ones such as this though I myself feel

And as you say yourself -- close to exactly 1 person who still has this 
hardware and closer still to 0 who use it. Really, you contradict yourself:


Millions of users using PMS? I expect you are still going to NAK this 
anyway out of a theoretical standpoint but please stop contradicting 
yourself ;-)

We know this driver breaks the boot during useful kernel work. We know 
that changing it has about a 0.0001% percent change of mattering to 
anyone and then only as long as all those person can't be bothered to 
setup a value in his modprobe.conf.

Now, mind you, I don't care really deeply or anything but this is the 
second time today that I get a comment that places something theoretical 
over something actual. I had deluded myself into thinking that was not 
the way things were done here. Silly me.
