         users have complained indicating there is no more need for these
         boards.  This should really be considered a last call.

+What:   USB driver API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
+When:   Febuary 2008
+Files:  include/linux/usb.h, drivers/usb/core/driver.c
+Why:    The USB subsystem has changed a lot over time, and it has been
+        possible to create userspace USB drivers using usbfs/libusb/gadgetfs
+        that operate as fast as the USB bus allows.  Because of this, the USB
+        subsystem will not be allowing closed source kernel drivers to
+        register with it, after this grace period is over.  If anyone needs
+        any help in converting their closed source drivers over to use the
+        userspace filesystems, please contact the
+        linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list, and the developers
+        there will be glad to help you out.
