You're right.

Will happen.

In my opinion we should have removed it since long. It's lying around,
makes the tree ugly, breaks on a regular base and nobody cares to fix
it. The active MTD developers are doing 2.6 only and are blamed on a
regular base, why it does not work on 2.4.

If somebody stands up and takes the responsibility to keep the 2.4 stuff
alive, I could be convinced to keep it alive.

Anybody up to it?
