A good reason for continuing support for the Wolfson card is there are still lots available to buy (over 1300 at the time of writing) and if you update to the 4.9 kernel, it is supported without the need for the legacy kernel change.

The advantage is that the older Wolfson card can be modified to work with the Raspberry Pi3 and since the cards are inexpensive it makes a great high quality streamer option, with more flexibility than most competing DAC cards.
