> > The notification should probably be for removal in 17.08, to one release cycle to respond/fix/update.
> 
> There were some previous messages/warnings and there were no answer.
> I have asked a working free toolchain, I did not have it.
> We have asked some questions about drivers support, no reply.
> I have asked about removal, no reply.
> I really do not see why we should keep it longer.
