214What: IPv4 only connection tracking/NAT/helpers
215When: 2.6.22
216Why: The new layer 3 independant connection tracking replaces the old
217 IPv4 only version. After some stabilization of the new code the
218 old one will be removed.

297What: Wireless extensions over netlink (CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS_RTNETLINK)
298When: with the merge of wireless-dev, 2.6.22 or later
299Why: The option/code is
300 * not enabled on most kernels
301 * not required by any userspace tools (except an experimental one,
302 and even there only for some parts, others use ioctl)
303 * pointless since wext is no longer evolving and the ioctl
304 interface needs to be kept

296What: Multipath cached routing support in ipv4
297When: in 2.6.23
298Why: Code was merged, then submitter immediately disappeared leaving
299 us with no maintainer and lots of bugs. The code should not have
300 been merged in the first place, and many aspects of it's
301 implementation are blocking more critical core networking
302 development. It's marked EXPERIMENTAL and no distribution
303 enables it because it cause obscure crashes due to unfixable bugs
304 (interfaces don't return errors so memory allocation can't be
305 handled, calling contexts of these interfaces make handling
306 errors impossible too because they get called after we've
307 totally commited to creating a route object, for example).
308 This problem has existed for years and no forward progress
309 has ever been made, and nobody steps up to try and salvage
310 this code, so we're going to finally just get rid of it.
