rt2800pci is quite stable already (at least for me). So removing rt2860sta
would be ok I think.

I'm not quite sure about rt2800usb. It's still a bit immature in my opinion.

On the other hand, as long as people just use the staging driver instead of
reporting bugs for rt2800usb that situation won't change that fast.
