There is no valuable reasons to remove them in a hurry. But sym version 2 is intended to be a replacement of those both old driver versions. This has to be proven so prior to removing previous stuff, in my opinion. Note that Linus may decide differently, but for now he has accepted redundant drivers in his tree (some seems even to stay here forever:-) ).
