-What:  RCU API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
-When:  April 2006
-Files: include/linux/rcupdate.h, kernel/rcupdate.c
-Why:   Outside of Linux, the only implementations of anything even
-       vaguely resembling RCU that I am aware of are in DYNIX/ptx,
-       VM/XA, Tornado, and K42.  I do not expect anyone to port binary
-       drivers or kernel modules from any of these, since the first two
-       are owned by IBM and the last two are open-source research OSes.
-       So these will move to GPL after a grace period to allow
-       people, who might be using implementations that I am not aware
-       of, to adjust to this upcoming change.

 What:  raw1394: requests of type RAW1394_REQ_ISO_SEND, RAW1394_REQ_ISO_LISTEN
-When:  November 2005
+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.

+       The transition config option will also be removed at the same time.
+When:  before 2.6.19
+Why:   Unused symbols are both increasing the size of the kernel binary

-When:  June 2006
