313What: ide-scsi (BLK_DEV_IDESCSI)
314When: 2.6.29
315Why: The 2.6 kernel supports direct writing to ide CD drives, which
316 eliminates the need for ide-scsi. The new method is more
317 efficient in every way.

329What: SELinux "compat_net" functionality
330When: 2.6.30 at the earliest
331Why: In 2.6.18 the Secmark concept was introduced to replace the "compat_net"
332 network access control functionality of SELinux. Secmark offers both
333 better performance and greater flexibility than the "compat_net"
334 mechanism. Now that the major Linux distributions have moved to
335 Secmark, it is time to deprecate the older mechanism and start the
336 process of removing the old code.
