Since wext is being replaced as fast as we can (it'll probably stick
around for legacy drivers though) and the wext/netlink stuff was never
really used, this schedules it for removal.
The removal schedule is tight but there are no users of the code, the
main user of the wext user interface are the wireless-tools, they only
have an alpha version using the netlink interface and even that is
incomplete.

Which you consider applying this feature-removal-schedule.txt patch
in the current (i.e. pre-2.6.21) timeframe?

When you send this sort of stuff, spam as many lists as reasonable.
The removal of a recently-added userspace ABI is an unusual event, and
IMO needs discussing.
