In OTW: these fses are in limbo state, which induces another question:
how to get users of these into developers (and possibly maintainers)
to get out of this unfortunate situation? Do we have to keep
deprecated APIs they use indefinitely for the sake of servicing them without
any transition plan to replacement APIs? Do akpm have to step in for that to
happen?

Thanks.
