I think that what Robert, and others (including me) argument is actually 
that things should not be removed, and the reason would be that this is 
the core mission, purpose, reason (or whatever you want to call it) for 
NetBSDs existence. Instead it should be fixed, because that is what it 
all is about. Make it work - don't remove it.

And what you are arguing for would imply a change of what the reason for 
existence is.

Now, like I said before, maybe we should have a discussion then about 
what the reason for NetBSD is.

(And Robert certainly have me convinced, so your last statement is 
provably false. Don't try to speak for everyone.)
