I suppose that if noone can think of a good reason to keep the old mcd
driver around, I could completely drop it from the kernel as part of my
CD-ROM update for the 2.1.x kernel. I pulled an old Mitsumi drive out of
my basement, but I can't say I have ever really used either mcd or mcdx
except for my on-going porting effort. Is anybody out there really
attached to the mcd driver, or should I drop it from the kernel? Does the
kernel really need two Mitsumi proprietary CD-ROM drivers?
