+What:   i2c_adapter.dev
+        i2c_adapter.list
+When:   July 2007
+Why:    Superfluous, given i2c_adapter.class_dev:
+          * The "dev" was a stand-in for the physical device node that legacy
+            drivers would not have; but now it's almost always present.  Any
+            remaining legacy drivers must upgrade (they now trigger warnings).
+          * The "list" duplicates class device children.
+        The delay in removing this is so upgraded lm_sensors and libsensors
+        can get deployed.  (Removal causes minor changes in the sysfs layout,
+        notably the location of the adapter type name and parenting the i2c
+        client hardware directly from their controller.)

 What:   IPv4 only connection tracking/NAT/helpers
 When:   2.6.22
 Why:    The new layer 3 independant connection tracking replaces the old
