+These are a few tty/serial drivers that either do not build,
+or work if they do build, or if they seem to work, are for obsolete
+hardware, or are full of unfixable races and no one uses them anymore.
+
+If no one steps up to adopt any of these drivers, they will be removed
+in the 2.6.41 release.
