The patch titled

     deprecate smbfs in favour of cifs

has been added to the -mm tree.  Its filename is

     deprecate-smbfs-in-favour-of-cifs.patch

See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this


From: Andrew Morton <[email protected]>

smbfs is a bit buggy and has no maintainer.  Change it to shout at the user on
the first five mount attempts - tell them to switch to CIFS.

Come November we'll mark it BROKEN and see what happens.

Perhaps an addition to  Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt  is
also in order?

Something noting that it will be marked as broken in November and go
away some 12 - 18 months after that perhaps?
