In embedded development there are some usecases left for this codebase 
from the 1980s that implements protocols that were widely popular in
the 1980s and early 1990s.

Ancient code implementing obsolete ancient stuff is not fun to maintain.


There are also two higher level topics that should be discussed:

1. Removal of maintainers.inc
There is some nitpicking that every recipe needs a maintainer.
For the package in question the maintainer is not involved in the 
discussion, and doesn't seem to have been asked for support or
asked regarding the suggested removal.

2. Who is responsible for fixing gettext breakages in meta-oe?
Alexander or Khem?
