That should be fine.  I'll watch for it this time.  August isn't much
time though; isn't the "standard" 6 months to a year?

August is fine; it's our sloppiness that the remove announcement did not go in earlier. People who run external projects that use such symbols might have had forewarning by the previous discussion rounds on linux1394-devel.

+What:	remove the following ieee1394 EXPORT_SYMBOL's:
+	- hpsb_send_phy_config
+	- hpsb_send_packet_and_wait
+	- highlevel_add_host
+	- highlevel_remove_host
+	- nodemgr_for_each_host
+	- csr1212_create_csr
+	- csr1212_init_local_csr
+	- csr1212_new_immediate
+	- csr1212_associate_keyval
+	- csr1212_new_string_descriptor_leaf
+	- csr1212_destroy_csr
+	- csr1212_generate_csr_image
+	- csr1212_parse_csr

Now that we are at it, the following EXPORT_SYMBOLs should be removed too...
	_csr1212_read_keyval
	_csr1212_destroy_keyval

+Files:	drivers/ieee1394/ieee1394_core.c
+Why:	No modular usage in the kernel.

...at the same place and for the same reason.
