-When:  January 2007
-Why:   The ISA interface is faster and should be always available. The I2C

-What:  Bridge netfilter deferred IPv4/IPv6 output hook calling
-When:  January 2007
-Why:   The deferred output hooks are a layering violation causing unusual
-       and broken behaviour on bridge devices. Examples of things they
-       break include QoS classifation using the MARK or CLASSIFY targets,
-       the IPsec policy match and connection tracking with VLANs on a
-       bridge. Their only use is to enable bridge output port filtering
-       within iptables with the physdev match, which can also be done by
-       combining iptables and ebtables using netfilter marks. Until it
-       will get removed the hook deferral is disabled by default and is
-       only enabled when needed.

+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.)
