do we have some data on how many machines are needing this ? if not then I think we can say that its not actively needed and few machines if any needing this can house the recipe in the BSP layer core support is still in core so that's good. > At least if Marek agrees to maintain it instead of restoring Denys as > maintainer :). That's good although it will be nicer to see a wider use case to keep it in core. > > Cheers, > > >
