Well, I'm not sure if we should remove it now.
There are currently no problems with it, yet.
And people are still using it.
In my opinion, we should leave it in _until_ it causes me a major
headache (Because we'll have to switch to yet another (newer) firmware
or whatever). I will remove the old stuff then.
So well. Please leave the code untouched for now, as there are
_currently_ no problems with it and people are still using it.
