-What:  ACPI S4bios support
-When:  May 2005
-Why:   Noone uses it, and it probably does not work, anyway. swsusp is
-       faster, more reliable, and people are actually using it.

-What:  PCI Name Database (CONFIG_PCI_NAMES)
-When:  July 2005
-Why:   It bloats the kernel unnecessarily, and is handled by userspace better
-       (pciutils supports it.)  Will eliminate the need to try to keep the
-       pci.ids file in sync with the sf.net database all of the time.

-What:  register_serial/unregister_serial
-When:  September 2005
-Why:   This interface does not allow serial ports to be registered against
-       a struct device, and as such does not allow correct power management
-       of such ports.  8250-based ports should use serial8250_register_port
-       and serial8250_unregister_port, or platform devices instead.

+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
+       to link against API-compatible library on top of libnfnetlink_queue 
+       instead of the current 'libipq'.
