as per Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt, some legacy code is ripe for removal. Now while pursuing this I wondered whether the struct definitions for the old code in the header files (e.g. in linux/netfilter/xt_CONNMARK.h) can also be removed or whether people will argue that doing so would unnecessarily cause dismay on behalf the potential users (of which there are not any). I am not aware of any users, and neither is Search Engine Google, so I'd just take the bait and kill it. Vetoes?
Every time I'm searching I do find some users of at least some iptables headers. Maybe not this specific one, but that doesn't mean much, fact is there might be users. That being said, I'd be fine removing both the functionality and the headers after a sufficiently long period. I'm not really confident that the period has indeed be long enough though. When did we schedule this for removal? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
