It started with kernel modules, the first introduction of dynamic

There is a step between providing a feature, which is a good thing,
and deprecating everything else.
That's true but the project moves towards a 'new features, we groom
'em
and old features we drop 'em without proper discussion first'
position;
I therefore can see what dM is saying, why, and I fear, too, that this
is going to happen. By the latest developments you can see that we
already
stopped caring about backwards compatibility, from the programmers,
the
system administrators, the packagers and the users view. So what
makes you
think that the "hard to groom because 'nobody' uses it" features will
get fixed? Who is/was fixing the SA bugs? "It's ugly let's drop it".
