Wouldn't removing it break the "never break the user space" promise Linux has?

- lomnakkus 9y agoNo. The "never break user space" thing (AFAIUI, at least) is about not changing existing behavior. Removal of features is a different thing altogether which usually only happens after long deprecation periods or when there's nobody around to support the code.
