What's the problem with ahc(4)? My ahc controller is one of
the most reliable pieces of hardware that I've purchased.
It's also the only interface available to my external DLT
tape drive.

Not to forget the large amount of embedded ahc's that got implemented on all kinds of serverbords. I still have quite a large set of customers with such ASUS boards I sold to them over the years. Up 'till now I've been able to keep 'm running with the pace of FreeBSD.
Removing this driver would "leave them behind".

I can force them to upgrade, but thus far there has been little reason for that (hardware wise).

Just my 2 ct's
