From 8a398a0c189ead8bbce98f5be70b8ea0e30b21f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Kicinski Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 15:29:35 -0700 Subject: appletalk: move the protocol out of tree AppleTalk has been removed in MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), in 2009, according to Wikipedia. We recently got a burst of AI generated fixes to this protocol which nobody is reviewing. Let AppleTalk follow AX.25 and hamradio out of the Linux tree. We we will maintain the code at: github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan for anyone interested in playing with it. Retain the uAPI for now. No strong reason, simply because I suspect keeping it will be less controversial.
