Use "svn rm", and yes, you'd need an ack that I'd be happy to provide. Make
sure you abuild test it, just to make sure that there's no board we've
forgotten about that's using it. If there is, I'm 90% sure it's the one with
the i855 northbridge, and that's never worked either, so probably all of it
could be dropped.
