Title:
Drop Floppy Drive Support from kernel?
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
1) Proposed for 18.04
2) Whichever kernel 4.14 or 4.15
Can we drop Floppy support from the kernel for Bionic?
I see very small activity about Floppy drives in the 2012 timeframe
(LP and AskUbuntu), but I can't see much of a use for floppy drives in
2018.
Advantages to remove
* It's being removed for various cloud vendors -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-gcp/+bug/1729673. I can't
reproduce the speed difference locally though.
* It removes attack service. Hard to quantify but QEMU has gotten hit by a
bad floppy disk exploit (https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2608-1/)
