I would support total removal if it freed up the dedicated IRQ 6 for use for other devices or perhaps deicate IRQ6 to the USB controller? Now that i think about it who uses parrallel ports any more? I can do with out those too. Serial ports are still very useful though. Either way the whole IBM PC compatible design is outdated anyway it needs a complete redesign.
