+What: blkmtd
+When: April 2006
+Files: drivers/mtd/devices/blkmtd.c
+Why: o An alternative exists that hasn't had bug report for > 1 year.
+ o Most embedded people tend to use ancient kernels with custom patches
+ from mtd cvs and elsewhere, so the 1 year warning period neither
+ helps nor hurts them too much.
+ o It's in the way of klibc. The problems caused by pulling blkmtd
+ support are fairly low, while the problems caused by delaying klibc
+ can be fairly substantial. At best, this would be a severe burden
+ on hpa's time.
