This article reports that maintainers are removing legacy drivers and outdated platform support from the Linux kernel (examples include old 3Com, Xircom, Hamachi/Yellowfin NICs, ATM, AX.25/HAM drivers and potential 80486 support removal) as a pragmatic way to mitigate long-standing bugs discovered by automated tools; it also notes that some distributions (e.g., T2/Linux) will continue to support older hardware.
