---------------------------
+What: i2c_adapter.dev
+ i2c_adapter.list
+When: July 2007
+Why: Superfluous, given i2c_adapter.class_dev:
+ * The "dev" was a stand-in for the physical device node that legacy
+ drivers would not have; but now it's almost always present. Any
+ remaining legacy drivers must upgrade (they now trigger warnings).
+ * The "list" duplicates class device children.
+ The delay in removing this is so upgraded lm_sensors and libsensors
+ can get deployed. (Removal causes minor changes in the sysfs layout,
+ notably the location of the adapter type name and parenting the i2c
+ client hardware directly from their controller.)

What: IPv4 only connection tracking/NAT/helpers
When: 2.6.22
Why: The new layer 3 independant connection tracking replaces the old

---------------------------
+
+ What: ACPI hotkey driver (CONFIG_ACPI_HOTKEY)
+ When: 2.6.21
+ Why: hotkey.c was an attempt to consolidate multiple drivers that use
+ ACPI to implement hotkeys. However, hotkeys are not documented
+ in the ACPI specification, so the drivers used undocumented
+ vendor-specific hooks and turned out to be more different than
+ the same.
+
+ Further, the keys and the features supplied by each platform
+ are different, so there will always be a need for
+ platform-specific drivers.
+
+ So the new plan is to delete hotkey.c and instead, work on the
+ platform specific drivers to try to make them look the same
+ to the user when they supply the same features.
+
+ hotkey.c has always depended on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

+
+ ---------------------------
+
+ What: /sys/firmware/acpi/namespace
+ When: 2.6.21
+ Why: The ACPI namespace is effectively the symbol list for
+ the BIOS. The device names are completely arbitrary
+ and have no place being exposed to user-space.
+
+ For those interested in the BIOS ACPI namespace,
+ the BIOS can be extracted and disassembled with acpidump
+ and iasl as documented in the pmtools package here:
+ http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils
+
+ Who: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
+
+ ---------------------------
+
+ What: /proc/acpi/button
+ When: August 2007
+ Why: /proc/acpi/button has been replaced by events to the input layer
+ since 2.6.20.
