I've left OpenEZX behind quite a long time ago.  Antonio was working
on it for some more time, I don't know if he's still actively using
or maintaining it.

>From my personal point of view, it's only historically relevant and
can certainly be removed from current-day mainline kernels.  That's of
course unless some other people are still actively using it, which
I somewhat doubt about a decade since those phones were last made.
