Please do not remove rl. I have two rl interfaces in a machine built in
2011 still in daily use. One rl interface is an aftermarket card bought
new in *2016*. The other one is built into the motherboard. That's just
the stuff I personally own. rl is in lots of machines which will
probably still be running a decade from now.
I'm astonished you're considering removing rl given how common it is.
