 Why:	Deprecated by the new (standard) device driver binding model. Use
 	i2c_driver->probe() and ->remove() instead.
 Who:	Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What:	SELinux "compat_net" functionality
+When:	2.6.30 at the earliest
+Why:	In 2.6.18 the Secmark concept was introduced to replace the "compat_net"
+	network access control functionality of SELinux.  Secmark offers both
+	better performance and greater flexibility than the "compat_net"
+	mechanism.  Now that the major Linux distributions have moved to
+	Secmark, it is time to deprecate the older mechanism and start the
+	process of removing the old code.

-	  This option determines whether the new secmark-based network
-	  controls will be enabled by default.  If not, the old internal
-	  per-packet controls will be enabled by default, preserving
-	  old behavior.
-
-	  If you enable the new controls, you will need updated
-	  SELinux userspace libraries, tools and policy.  Typically,
-	  your distribution will provide these and enable the new controls
-	  in the kernel they also distribute.
-
-	  Note that this option can be overridden at boot with the
-	  selinux_compat_net parameter, and after boot via
-	  /selinux/compat_net.  See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
-	  for details on this parameter.
-
-	  If you enable the new network controls, you will likely
-	  also require the SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets, as
-	  well as any conntrack helpers for protocols which you
-	  wish to control.
