+What:  CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT
+When:  as soon as distributions ship new wireless tools, ie. wpa_supplicant 1.0
+       and NetworkManager/connman/etc. that are able to use nl80211
+Why:   Wireless extensions are deprecated, and userland tools are moving to
+       using nl80211. New drivers are no longer using wireless extensions,
+       and while there might still be old drivers, both new drivers and new
+       userland no longer needs them and they can't be used for an feature
+       developed in the past couple of years. As such, compatibility with
+       wireless extensions in new drivers will be removed.
