No modern system should enable them, or you will effectively allow user-space to circumvent most of your kernel security measures. The DRI1 kernel APIs are simply broken. User-space can always use vesafb/efifb/simplefb and friends to get working graphics. Lets hide the old drivers behind CONFIG_BROKEN. In case they turn out to be still used (really?), we can easily revert this and figure out a way to move them out of sight (e.g., moving all DRI1 drivers to drivers/gpu/dri1/).
