Hi all...

I just got my July Linux Journal from the States. In the Kernel Development
column (page 12) it states that the parallel port code is now marked
"unmaintained" and if someone does not step up to be the maintainer the
code may be removed from the kernal.

The chance that someone will jump in for code that has no more use, even for
printing, is very small, so we can expect to see that code removed.

I guess even if removed it will be able to live long enough in the same way as
ppscsi to support few devices that need it.
