We are talking about drivers for devices from the last century which nobody even uses anymore. This isn't "shining light" on important pre-existing issues that have been ignored for too long or something, it isn't helping.

The only problem here, if any, is the false sense of confidence given by LLMs to people who have no business touching kernel code.

You don’t see any issue with insecure drivers for obsolete hardware, exactly the kind of thing that is most prevalent in an industrial control type applications?

Stuxnet should have been a wakeup call to everyone: the boring, obsolete, “safe because nobody browses TikTok on it” hardware is exactly the highest risk.

If they are drivers for devices from the last century which nobody even uses anymore why keep them in the kernel when they, as shown by LLMs, are potential sources of security vulnerabilities? Seems more logical to take the action being taken and remove them.
