With all isdn4linux hardware drivers gone, this is only a wrapper around CAPI to support old user space. However, from looking at the mailing list, it seems that the last time anyone asked about it was in 2014, when the upgrade from a linux-2.4 installation failed, and mISDN was suggested as a replacement. The largest public ISDN network (Deutsche Telekom) was supposed to be shut down 2018, which must have drastically reduced the number of legacy installations. When we last discussed removing i4l in 2016, Karsten Keil suggested revisiting this in 2018. I guess this is overdue.

mISDN is a new modular ISDN driver, in the long term it should replace the old I4L driver architecture for passiv ISDN cards. It was designed to allow a broad range of applications and interfaces but only have the basic function in kernel, the interface to the user space is based on sockets with a own address family AF_ISDN.
