Quick question: why is the removal of support for the USRP2 (et. al.)  
being  
contemplated? I know its a bit older, but is there another reason?

Nothing to do with age. It has a lot of problems and isnt feature  
complete. [http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki](http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki)

“Support for USRP2” is not going away in GNU Radio. Instead, we are  
migrating our USRP(1 and 2)-based examples to use the new Ettus R.  
UHD  
and the gr-uhd wrapper (which continues to support all Ettus hardware.)
