Everyone has used the out of tree one for a long time anyway if there is
even a user left. I guess the person who needs to rescue ancient tapes
will use an old kernel and PC anyway, or can rescue the driver
themselves.

I actually have the hardware, but with a capacity of 1.6GB
per tape and transfer speeds at a few hundred KB/s it's not
the most practical backup solution today.
Removing it is perfectly acceptable for me.
