Well... _maybe_ documentation/scheduled-removal.txt (or whatever it is called) could now be merged into the kconfig options and help text. Or maybe not, to keep it easy to track deprecated code. Well, even if scheduled-removal.txt stays, you could submit a 2nd patch putting OBSOLETE and DEPRECATED tags to the Kconfig options listed in scheduled-removal.txt, so that kconfig+sched are in sync. -`J' -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
