 What:	raw1394: requests of type RAW1394_REQ_ISO_SEND, RAW1394_REQ_ISO_LISTEN
-When:	November 2006
-Why:	Deprecated in favour of the new ioctl-based rawiso interface, which is
-	more efficient.  You should really be using libraw1394 for raw1394
-	access anyway.
-Who:	Jody McIntyre <scjody@modernduck.com>
+When:	June 2007
+Why:	Deprecated in favour of the more efficient and robust rawiso interface.
+	Affected are applications which use the deprecated part of libraw1394
+	(raw1394_iso_write, raw1394_start_iso_write, raw1394_start_iso_rcv,
+	raw1394_stop_iso_rcv) or bypass	libraw1394.

+What:	dv1394 driver (CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394)
+When:	June 2007
+Why:	Replaced by raw1394 + userspace libraries, notably libiec61883.  This
+	shift of application support has been indicated on www.linux1394.org
+	and developers' mailinglists for quite some time.  Major applications
+	have been converted, with the exception of ffmpeg and hence xine.
+	Piped output of dvgrab2 is a partial equivalent to dv1394.

-What:	sys_sysctl
-When:	January 2007
-Why:	The same information is available through /proc/sys and that is the
-	interface user space prefers to use. And there do not appear to be
-	any existing user in user space of sys_sysctl.  The additional
-	maintenance overhead of keeping a set of binary names gets

-What:	ip_queue and ip6_queue (old ipv4-only and ipv6-only netfilter queue)
-When:	December 2005
-Why:	This interface has been obsoleted by the new layer3-independent
-	"nfnetlink_queue".  The Kernel interface is compatible, so the old
-	ip[6]tables "QUEUE" targets still work and will transparently handle
-	all packets into nfnetlink queue number 0.  Userspace users will have
