Agreed, but my original statement was:

It might help if HARDWARE.TXT (both -current and -stable) didn't
list floppy tapes.  It refers to the driver as "stale" rather
than gone.

The driver has been listed that way through all of the 3.x
releases, which is the platform for users, and will probably
still be listed the same way when 4.0 is released.
