+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.

-What: The arch/ppc and include/asm-ppc directories
-When: Jun 2008
-Why:  The arch/powerpc tree is the merged architecture for ppc32 and ppc64
-      platforms.  Currently there are efforts underway to port the remaining
-      arch/ppc platforms to the merged tree.  New submissions to the arch/ppc
-      tree have been frozen with the 2.6.22 kernel release and that tree will
-      remain in bug-fix only mode until its scheduled removal.  Platforms
-      that are not ported by June 2008 will be removed due to the lack of an
-      interested maintainer.
