+What:	old tuner-3036 i2c driver
+When:	2.6.28
+Why:	This driver is for VERY old i2c-over-parallel port teletext receiver
+	boxes. Rather then spending effort on converting this driver to V4L2,
+	and since it is extremely unlikely that anyone still uses one of these
+	devices, it was decided to drop it.

+What:   V4L2 dpc7146 driver
+When:   2.6.28
+Why:    Old driver for the dpc7146 demonstration board that is no longer
+	relevant. The last time this was tested on actual hardware was
+	probably around 2002. Since this is a driver for a demonstration
+	board the decision was made to remove it rather than spending a
+	lot of effort continually updating this driver to stay in sync
+	with the latest internal V4L2 or I2C API.

-What:	find_task_by_pid
-When:	2.6.26
-Why:	With pid namespaces, calling this funciton will return the
-	wrong task when called from inside a namespace.
-
-	The best way to save a task pid and find a task by this
-	pid later, is to find this task's struct pid pointer (or get
-	it directly from the task) and call pid_task() later.
-
-	If someone really needs to get a task by its pid_t, then
-	he most likely needs the find_task_by_vpid() to get the
-	task from the same namespace as the current task is in, but
-	this may be not so in general.

+	SCTP_GET_LOCAL_ADDRS_NUM_OLD, SCTP_GET_LOCAL_ADDRS_OLD
+When: 	June 2009
+Why:    A newer version of the options have been introduced in 2005 that
+	removes the limitions of the old API.  The sctp library has been
+        converted to use these new options at the same time.  Any user

+What:	CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON
+When:	January 2009
+Why:	This option was introduced just to allow older lm-sensors userspace
+	to keep working over the upgrade to 2.6.26. At the scheduled time of
+	removal fixed lm-sensors (2.x or 3.x) should be readily available.
