+         This option creates deprecated symlinks such as the
+         "device"-link, the <subsystem>:<name>-link, and the
+         "bus"-link. It may also add deprecated key in the
+         uevent environment.
+         None of these features or values should be used today, as
+         they export driver core implementation details to userspace
+         or export properties which can't be kept stable across kernel
+         releases.
+
+         If enabled, this option will also move any device structures
+         that belong to a class, back into the /sys/class heirachy, in
+         order to support older versions of udev.
+
+         If you are using a distro that was released in 2006 or later,
+         it should be safe to say N here.
