The answer is that we are still very much actively using RDB and AFFS
supoort in the Linux kernel and if you were to remove it, you would
directly hit users.

Based on that I think removing affs will not happen, but the upstream
maintenance status should be updated accordingly.

As a fellow SUSE employee, I'm very happy to hear that someone
from SUSE is picking up the work <3. FWIW, Andreas Schwab from
SUSE maintains an internal port of openSUSE for m68k :).

Exactly. It works fine as is:

There is nothing at the moment that needs fixing.

So, I'm willing to act as upstream maintainer for affs, send pull
requests with fixes if you ever need that (unless you find someone
else).

Thanks a thousand times. If we happen to meet at a SUSE event,
I'll invite you to beverage of your choice ;-).

Thanks!
Adrian
