---------------------------
-What: mount/umount uevents
-When: February 2007
-Why: These events are not correct, and do not properly let userspace know
- when a file system has been mounted or unmounted. Userspace should
- poll the /proc/mounts file instead to detect this properly.

What: USB driver API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
When: February 2008
Files: include/linux/usb.h, drivers/usb/core/driver.c
---------------------------
-What: Wireless extensions over netlink (CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS_RTNETLINK)
-When: with the merge of wireless-dev, 2.6.22 or later
-Why: The option/code is
- * not enabled on most kernels
- * not required by any userspace tools (except an experimental one,
- and even there only for some parts, others use ioctl)
- * pointless since wext is no longer evolving and the ioctl
- interface needs to be kept

+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.
