The point was that just because it's removed from the kernel doesn't mean it has to disappear if there is still interest to keep it up to date.
- dale_glass 4y agoOk, but seems like an odd one to care about. The ELF transition was almost 30 years ago. Most anything earlier than that is in the garbage dump or a museum, and the software runs in a VM.
- lokedhs 4y agoOh I don't really care about it other than from a nostalgia point of view. I started using Linux at 0.99 or so. I don't think I've used anything but ELF since it was introduced. And recent developments have shown that ELF is not a barrier to getting old binaries working (the recent port of Word Perfect for Unix).
