While we don't currently have a drop-off implemented for old/stale data, it will be implemented next year.

The drop-off for old data will be done in months, since people aren't likely to change hardware that often.

I still remember the happy days of the mga driver, where it was fully open source, but I think there was a binary firmware to enable multiple monitors (since at the time they were the only ones able to drive more than one screen on a single card.) These days it is fully open source, but sadly only a very few server boards actually have the Matrox video built in.Ahh. I remember playing NWN on a G400 on Mandrake Linux back then :D

I so used to love Mandrake Linux. Was my distribution of choice for some timeI used it for quite a while as well, back when it was new and shiny. I absolutely hated the rpm-based package management though. Dropped the distro for Gentoo at some point, and even if I spent most of my time compiling software, at least portage was (and is) an awesome package manager...

This was back when I was rocking an Athlon Thunderbird or maybe an Athlon XP with a slow HDD to boot, so compiling anything took quite a bit of time. And I'm sure Gentoo's infrastructure has been streamlined in many ways since. It's been quite a while.Dropped the distro for Gentoo at some point, and even if I spent most of my time compiling software, at least portage was (and is) an awesome package manager...
Compiling doesn't get in the way most of the time. But there is the odd occasion I need to let things run overnight (llvm needs MAKEOPTS="-j1" or it fails for me, but I suspect that's just me).
