1The following is a list of files and features that are going to be
2removed from the U-Boot source tree.  Every entry should contain what
3exactly is going away, when it will be gone, why it is being removed,
4and who is going to be doing the work.  When the feature is removed
5from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this
6file.

10What:	CONFIG_NET_MULTI option
11When:	Release 2009-11
12
13Why:	U-boot currently implements two network driver APIs.  New drivers with
14	the older-style implementation have not been accepted for a while, and
15	this parallel system makes the code confusing and hard to augment.
16
17	All existing in-tree boards will be converted to use CONFIG_NET_MULTI
18	over the span of two releases (2009-07 and 2009-09).
19	In the 2009-11 release, all code that is compiled when CONFIG_NET_MULTI
20	is not set will be removed, and all references to CONFIG_NET_MULTI
21	will be removed, effectively making it the only API.  This should
22	provide ample time for out-of-tree users to adjust, and for tools on
23	all architectures to be made to work with weak functions.

29What:	GPL cleanup
30When:	August 2009
31Why:	Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot
32	source code that are either missing a valid GPL license
33	header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the
34	GPL.
35	Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree.
36	See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files
37	for an old and probably incomplete list of such files.
