    I would disagree - OBSOLETE to me means just that - that module is
    obsolete. Minix FS, OSS (as opposed to ALSA), and the old non-SCSI,
    non-IDE HD interfaces would be OBSOLETE.

    Besides, I have seen cases where Firewire modules wouldn't build for
    some period of time - would you deem them OBSOLETE?
