+What:   Support for VMware's guest paravirtuliazation technique [VMI] will be
+        dropped.
+When:   2.6.37 or earlier.
+Why:    With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies
+        from Intel and AMD, VMware ran a few experiments to compare these
+        techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform.
+        These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the
+        performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware
+        expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of
+        years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this
+        feature from the hypervisor. We will be removing this feature from the
+        Kernel too. Right now we are targeting 2.6.37 but can retire earlier if
+        technical reasons (read opportunity to remove major chunk of pvops)
+        arise.
+
+        Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels
+        still work fine on VMware's platform.
+        Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are,
+        Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence
+        releases for these products will continue supporting VMI.
+
+        For more details about VMI retirement take a look at this,
