The bfa drivers are in deep maintenance mode for some time now. We have not had issues reported on them for a while, but it would be good to continue to have them.

The series looks ok to me too.

Thanks,
Anil

This stuff look ok - but I have a bigger question and that is if bfa is still alive at all. Everytime I look at it I have doubts if it works at all, so I wonder if we need to keep it on life support.
