This is certainly the last resort, in my opinion, but it isn't "crippled". Merely not supporting particular pieces of hardware, in a world in which Linux *already* fails to support lots of popular hardware, is not a disaster.

Life is rough. The kernel team has had *ample* warning, since it was midway through *sarge* that the rules became clear.
