-When:  June 2007

-       Affected are applications which use the deprecated part of libraw1394

-What:  Multipath cached routing support in ipv4
-When:  in 2.6.23
-Why:   Code was merged, then submitter immediately disappeared leaving
-       us with no maintainer and lots of bugs.  The code should not have
-       been merged in the first place, and many aspects of it's
-       implementation are blocking more critical core networking
-       development.  It's marked EXPERIMENTAL and no distribution
-       enables it because it cause obscure crashes due to unfixable bugs
-       (interfaces don't return errors so memory allocation can't be
-       handled, calling contexts of these interfaces make handling
-       errors impossible too because they get called after we've
-       totally commited to creating a route object, for example).
-       This problem has existed for years and no forward progress
-       has ever been made, and nobody steps up to try and salvage
-       this code, so we're going to finally just get rid of it.
