Is there a place where we can get the latest
unofficial patches? Has anyone considered a fork to keep it relevant to modern kernels?
I would say it is best to remove all AX.25 code from the kernel and use one or more
userspace programs to provide the functionality instead.
It is just too difficult to keep some seldomly used feature working in the kernel working
without testing (as outlined by David).
And once there is a problem, it is almost impossible to get it fixed and very difficult to
propagate fixes to end-user systems.
Put only device drivers in the kernel, not the actual protocol code.
