Group 1 - Intel's ongoing global business restructuring is causing significant repercussions within the Linux kernel community [1] - A recent batch of Intel-maintained drivers has lost official maintenance support, including Ethernet RDMA, PTP DFL ToD, WWAN IOSM, Keem Bay DRM, Kprobes, and T7XX 5G WWAN [3] - The Linux kernel follows a "no maintenance, no inclusion" policy, meaning that drivers without ongoing support may be removed, posing risks for enterprise users relying on these modules [3] Group 2 - The lack of maintenance for these drivers could lead to issues with security patches and compatibility with new hardware [3] - Specific applications, such as FPGA and time-sensitive applications, as well as devices using Intel WWAN modules and edge computing scenarios requiring Keem Bay VPU acceleration, face potential risks due to this situation [3]
