One problem is that these options haven't been deprecated in major vendor
releases (e.g. 2.6.32 for RHEL6 and SLES11), which is what most people are
using. I think that they should be deprecated for at least one major
vendor release before being removed, otherwise it is nearly the same as just
deleting them on some random kernel version without telling anyone.
I'm not sure where you got "2.6.23" and "2.6.28" from, maybe you meant "2.6.33",
which is unfortunately just after the cutoff for both RHEL6 and SLES11SP1.
Cheers, Andreas
