From the help text for SYSFS_DEPRECATED: If you are using a distro that was released in 2006 or later, it should be safe to say N here. If we need an as-yet-unreleased HAL without it, I would say the above should be changed to 2008 or so. If Debian actually cuts a release in the next few months, you might make that 2010. -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time.
