+What: Multipath cached routing support in ipv4
+When: in 2.6.23
+Why: Code was merged, then submitter immediately disappeared leaving
+ us with no maintainer and lots of bugs. The code should not have
+ been merged in the first place, and many aspects of it's
+ implementation are blocking more critical core networking
+ development. It's marked EXPERIMENTAL and no distribution
+ enables it because it cause obscure crashes due to unfixable bugs
+ (interfaces don't return errors so memory allocation can't be
+ handled, calling contexts of these interfaces make handling
+ errors impossible too because they get called after we've
+ totally commited to creating a route object, for example).
+ This problem has existed for years and no forward progress
+ has ever been made, and nobody steps up to try and salvage
+ this code, so we're going to finally just get rid of it.

+What: read_dev_chars(), read_conf_data{,_lpm}() (s390 common I/O layer)
+When: December 2007
+Why: These functions are a leftover from 2.4 times. They have several
+ problems:
+ - Duplication of checks that are done in the device driver's
+ interrupt handler
+ - common I/O layer can't do device specific error recovery
+ - device driver can't be notified for conditions happening during
+ execution of the function
+ Device drivers should issue the read device characteristics and read
+ configuration data ccws and do the appropriate error handling
+ themselves.

+What: i2c-ixp2000, i2c-ixp4xx and scx200_i2c drivers
+When: September 2007
+Why: Obsolete. The new i2c-gpio driver replaces all hardware-specific
+ I2C-over-GPIO drivers.
