Does it work for *anyone* with a modern distro? If not, then I think
archiving it makes sense. Time marches on. :)
If it does work for *someone* with a modern distro then at the very
least the UI needs to detect when it will be broken and tell this to the
user in advance to prevent frustration.

KFloppy is an old tool to format your floppy diskettes. We packaged
KFloppy for the Snap store but it doesn't work, neither does it work for

seem to exist any more, expecting /dev/fd0 and other nodes in /dev. It
also depends on having tools like fdformat around which are not packages
for Ubuntu any more. I tested it with an external USB floppy drive.
The most recent maintainer seems to be Wolfgang Bauer. Can we agree to
archive it and stop releases?
