+What: Video4Linux obsolete drivers using V4L1 API
+When: kernel 2.6.38
+Files: drivers/staging/cpia/*
+Check: drivers/staging/cpia/cpia.c
+Why: There are some drivers still using V4L1 API, despite all efforts we've done
+ to migrate. Those drivers are for obsolete hardware that the old maintainer
+ didn't care (or not have the hardware anymore), and that no other developer
+ could find any hardware to buy. They probably have no practical usage today,
+ and people with such old hardware could probably keep using an older version
+ of the kernel. Those drivers will be moved to staging on 2.6.37 and, if nobody
+ care enough to port and test them with V4L2 API, they'll be removed on 2.6.38.
