Not to forget the large amount of embedded ahc's that got implemented on 
all kinds of serverbords. I still have quite a large set of customers 
with such ASUS boards I sold to them over the years. Up 'till now I've

Removing this driver would "leave them behind".

I can force them to upgrade, but thus far there has been little reason 
for that (hardware wise).
