 Why:    Superseded by xt_CT

+What:   video4linux /dev/vtx teletext API support
+When:   2.6.35
+Files:  drivers/media/video/saa5246a.c drivers/media/video/saa5249.c
+        include/linux/videotext.h
+Why:    The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes
+        for many years. No applications exist that use the vtx support.
+        Of the two i2c drivers that actually support this API the saa5249
+        has been impossible to use for a year now and no known hardware
+        that supports this device exists. The saa5246a is theoretically
+        supported by the old mxb boards, but it never actually worked.
+
+        In summary: there is no hardware that can use this API and there
+        are no applications actually implementing this API.
+
+        The vtx support still reserves minors 192-223 and we would really
+        like to reuse those for upcoming new functionality. In the unlikely
+        event that new hardware appears that wants to use the functionality
+        provided by the vtx API, then that functionality should be build
+        around the sliced VBI API instead.
