Like, say, propose their removal ? ;-) If we do this, does get_maintainers.pl still list dri-devel@fd.o and Dave's mail address?

One could say "they haven't worked in years" and give them the stick ;-) But seriously - yes it still lists Dave/dri-devel.

Pretty much all of these hasn't seen any action singe 2008 at the very least. Barring the occasional buildfix and DRM-wide refactoring of course. Note: some distributions have stopped shipping their userspace counterparts for a while. Although some still do. Signed-off-by: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com> --- I'm inclined to list these as Obsolete, yet that implies that there's something better in the works, yet there isn't. I believe many people will be happy to see these drivers go, although I doubt interested parties are about to port them to KMS/DRI2 unless we make some noise.
