Maybe. There are also lots of Ford Model 'T' clubs, nevertheless Model 'T's
are not allowed on any freeway -- they are too slow. But if a simplified
graphics library makes it easier to complete the port to Linux, the
sacrifice of CGA and EGA will be worth it IMHO. I expect there are very
few Linux users useing XT's or CGA. Further, we 'officialy' cut support
for XT's several years ago, I'd say it's time to do the same for CGA
and EGA.

Yes, I stand by what I said, but I also said it's a work of genius.
Both are true. And remember, it was MP himself who said:
"It needs a complete rewrite". If you disagree, it's not with me,
but with the author himself.
But let's stop bickering about this, it serves no point.
