+What:   CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT
+When:   as soon as distributions ship new wireless tools, ie. wpa_supplicant 1.0
+        and NetworkManager/connman/etc. that are able to use nl80211
+Why:    Wireless extensions are deprecated, and userland tools are moving to
+        using nl80211. New drivers are no longer using wireless extensions,
+        and while there might still be old drivers, both new drivers and new
+        userland no longer needs them and they can't be used for an feature
+        developed in the past couple of years. As such, compatibility with
+        wireless extensions in new drivers will be removed.
