Subject: Re: [RFC] Deprecate a.out ELF interpreters

Do you mean deprecate a.out interpreters?

I could imagine that there might be some people running some very old
statically linked programs from a decade or so ago, but I agree they
are pretty small in number.  Is the fs/binfmt_aout.c causing problems?
It's only 562 lines of code...
