-What:  sys_sysctl
-When:  January 2007
-Why:   The same information is available through /proc/sys and that is the
-       interface user space prefers to use. And there do not appear to be
-       any existing user in user space of sys_sysctl.  The additional

-       in the way of doing a good job of maintaining this interface.

-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'.

-What:  frame diverter
-When:  November 2006
-Why:   The frame diverter is included in most distribution kernels, but is
-       broken. It does not correctly handle many things:
-       - IPV6
-       - non-linear skb's
-       - network device RCU on removal
-       - input frames not correctly checked for protocol errors
-       It also adds allocation overhead even if not enabled.
-       It is not clear if anyone is still using it.
