Speaking of this, I noticed that Documentation/ABI/README says that
files under obsolete should say when to expect the interface to be
removed, and at least a couple of them do, e.g.
sysfs-class-net-batman-adv:This ABI is deprecated and will be removed
after 2021.

Should we add similar lines to the two sysfs-selinux-* files, and if
so, what target date should we propose for each?
