It cannot be intended with graphics/drm-kmod installed which is by
definition not "legacy" or "obsolete". Quite the opposite, it should be
the newer driver.

That is it! As I wrote before, I use graphics/drm-kmod, but still see
complaints about "obsolete abandonware." If it is intended, then it's a
very odd intention.

True. It's not "obsolete abandonware", it it?
