This provides a clearer signal that V4L1-only apps need to use libv4l1, or otherwise will stop working. Of course, the better is to remove V4L1 support from those old apps. There are a number of applications that support both API's. So, it is time to remove V4L1 support from them. > I'm not sure where I stand wrt 2 versus 3. Comments anyone?
