Lazy & destructive
With all due respects to Alan Cox, it's not the first time he's pushed for killing off useful drivers to make his life easier (remember libata vs ide debate?). Those are WORKING drivers that aren't hurting anyone, why does he want to artificially remove support? While Alan may be a great hacker, he also has this lazy/destructive attitude (towards things he personally doesn't care about) that will hopefully be kept in check by more rational kernel devs.
