IIRC I saw few patches addressing some items but they are not yet Linus' tree, i.e. old mxser driver removal: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/18/235 Jiri, I see that old mxser removal has been on removal list for a long time and that Alan has reviewed the whole patch series (+ all patches look good for me from quick skimming through them). It also has been in the last -mm release. Because we are going to hit 2.6.25-rc1 quite soon I think that this patch series should find its way into Linus' tree Andrew, are you going to push it soon (or maybe Jiri should prepare git tree and send Linus a pull request)? Robert, I suggest that you just send patches removing outdated items (probably starting with the one below like you tried in the past) and be quite stubborn about it (otherwise you can be pretty sure that nothing will happen)... ... What: PCMCIA control ioctl (needed for pcmcia-cs [cardmgr, cardctl]) When: November 2005 .... http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/1/107 Christoph, 10 months later and this method doesn't seem to work. How's about disabling it in -mm and waiting for complaints instead (if none come just remove the code in 2.6.26-rc1)? [ Either this or we should just remove the item in question from feature-removal-schedule.txt. ] Thanks, Bart -- 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/
