Summary

We retired most obsolete 10 and 10/100 Ethernet NIC drivers in 2019 -- see D20230. le(4) was retained with with the note "Emulated by QEMU, alternatives don't yet work for mips64."

MIPS has been removed from the tree and emulators and virtual machines offer many other, more capable devices.

Event Timeline

ObsoleteFiles.inc will be done upon commit.

In addition to ditching mips, we've since moved all our VMs to vtnet. At this point that's table stakes unless the emulator aims entirely for retro-computing support (in which case we don't care about it.)
