It looks like several different people maintain the individual iwlXXXX-ucode packages. Removing them all would require some consensus among those maintainers. Keeping them all means forcing maintainers to work on stuff they don't care about, or will result in stuff getting dropped to maintainer-needed. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
