Exported symbols and the internal APIExported symbols and the internal APIPosted Sep 13, 2007 15:28 UTC (Thu) by dwheeler (guest, #1216)Parent article: Exported symbols and the internal API
I _like_ the idea of giving warning before removing something, so I hope that Morton stands firm on this. I don't see the harm in it, and frankly, having a clear way to get rid of things is likely to help get things ON the chopping block that need to be there.

"Warning: module foo uses deprecated functionality, and will break with the next kernel. Press Enter to continue." That'll get you bug reports.
