You've completely misunderstood what I said.  Nothing has been deleted
from the database.  The file downloadable off the website continues to
give the full set of entries.

All that's happened is some filtering on the version I include in the
mainline kernel to make it saner.  There's no point including 2000
lines (which expand to about 700K of generated file) which aren't used
in the mainline kernel.
