Could you introduce a new option for this please? Something
like CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PROC_COMPAT.
Another thing is .. while I'm very much in favour of removing
old crap, I don't think feature-removal-schedule helps much
for informing users since basically nobody reads it (I know
I don't). So perhaps we should add a WARN_ON_ONCE or something
to interfaces scheduled for removal. Just meant for discussion,
not to be done in this patch yet.
