The dmabuf heaps have been in an official kernel now for all of three weeks. So yea, we can "delete [ION] and see who even notices", but I worry that may seem a bit like contempt for the folks doing the work on transitioning over, which doesn't help getting them to participate within the community.
But they aren't participating in the community today as no one is touching the ion code. So I fail to see how keeping a dead-end-version of ion in the kernel tree really affects anyone these days.
So, any thoughts here? What's the timeline for ion being able to be removed that you are comfortable with?
Sorry for the slow reply. So my earlier plan was to drop it after the next LTS?
Ok, fair enough, we can wait until January.
thanks,
