The file feature-removal-schedule.txt is ignored by most people except
for people that add to it. It's more of a global TODO list for
developers than being anything useful by anyone.

Add a feature removal of removing the feature-removal-schedule.txt.

+What:	Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
+When:	v3.8
+Why:	Developers add their TODO list here, and no one else reads it.
+	It causes a lot of silly conflicts that annoy Linus.
+	There are better ways to remove features than adding your crap here.
+	Add a printk() or 'CONFIG_FOO default n' and see who complains.
+	This file has been proven to be absolutely useless.
