What: raw1394: requests of type RAW1394_REQ_ISO_SEND, RAW1394_REQ_ISO_LISTEN
-When: November 2006
-Why: Deprecated in favour of the new ioctl-based rawiso interface, which is
- more efficient. You should really be using libraw1394 for raw1394
- access anyway.
-Who: Jody McIntyre <scjody@modernduck.com>
+When: June 2007
+Why: Deprecated in favour of the more efficient and robust rawiso interface.
+ Affected are applications which use the deprecated part of libraw1394
+ (raw1394_iso_write, raw1394_start_iso_write, raw1394_start_iso_rcv,
+ raw1394_stop_iso_rcv) or bypass libraw1394.

+
+What: dv1394 driver (CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394)
+When: June 2007
+Why: Replaced by raw1394 + userspace libraries, notably libiec61883. This
+ shift of application support has been indicated on www.linux1394.org
+ and developers' mailinglists for quite some time. Major applications
+ have been converted, with the exception of ffmpeg and hence xine.
+ Piped output of dvgrab2 is a partial equivalent to dv1394.

+
+What: ieee1394 core's unused exports (CONFIG_IEEE1394_EXPORT_FULL_API)
+When: January 2007
+Why: There are no projects known to use these exported symbols, except
+ dfg1394 (uses one symbol whose functionality is core-internal now).

+When: January 2007
+Files: drivers/ieee1394/: oui.db, oui2c.sh
+Why: big size, little value
