@marcan@social.treehouse.systems some less-exercised code relating to floppy disks and tty on x86 has been broken since at least the early 4.x series and i don't think anyone even knows about the issue except me and a few folks who i was telling about what i was working on when i ran into it (which was around the time the floppy maintainer quit)

i'd like to fix it, but i've not even bothered to report it upstream because the bar for entry is too high

i guarantee there are other subsystems with similar issues, and that when calls go out for "does anyone use this? if not we'll remove it", there are people like me who do use the thing, and want to test or fix it, and who have been running into issues, who just aren't willing to subject themselves to the mailing list
