Even in that case I don't see any improvement in removing the PCI IDs from the driver. People could use these devices aftermarket, and install what ever they want. Even if that is very very low probability, still having working PCI IDs in the driver doesn't hurt anyone. IMHO, once Intel drops official maintainership for some hw/sw, the code shouldn't be deleted from FreeBSD, since community may willing to take maintainership. As was discussed, we need official support matrix of Intel published, and anything that doesn't fit into the matrix is community supported.
