Since you were replying to a patch removing a X.org driver because the
driver has been removed from X.org releases, I thought your SiS driver
was in this case, but it's not.

So, your point was that beyond the driver I removed, a bunch of others
could be removed, because even though X.org still has those drivers in
their releases, the hardware is so ancient that it doesn't make sense
to keep the drivers?
