So all you have to do is commit to maintain it and it wouldn't disappear. Problem solved. You will be stepping up to do the work, right, or sticking with "someone other than me should be compelled to support this thing I want".
The reason we can have nice (weird, antiquated) things like Linux on m68k is there are people actually stepping up to do the work.
- vkaku 3y agoLack of maintenance suggests that stable working drivers were never there? Or that means the interfaces are volatile? The kernel developers are just making things worse if they want no compatibility across the kernel releases unless they have people meddling with the code periodically. And they will be okay to support the driver for 10 more years as part of 6.1? None of this put together makes sense. They do not have a good test infrastructure for lots of devices. Most drivers have no regression testbeds today. That just tells me things will keep breaking more regularly. It is good that the m68k enthusiasts care, and yet this development model isn't sustainable to begin with.
