> Hopefully, true 80386 support can be reintroduced
To the best of my knowledge, nobody is making new 386-only chips (that have no 486 or 586 support). As long as that remains the case, hopefully that support stays removed.
> There are also a few kernel-tinification approaches floating around that could make the kernel smaller and easy to fit in a floppy-using scenario.
We could always use more people looking at the size regressions, and working on making more kernel components optional. If anyone is interested in working on this, send me email and I'd be happy to get you connected with it.
