What: b43 support for firmware revision < 410
-When: July 2008
+When: The schedule was July 2008, but it was decided that we are going to keep the
+ code as long as there are no major maintanance headaches.
+ So it _could_ be removed _any_ time now, if it conflicts with something new.
Why: The support code for the old firmware hurts code readability/maintainability
and slightly hurts runtime performance. Bugfixes for the old firmware
are not provided by Broadcom anymore.
