Subject: [PATCH md 001 of 2] Mark START_ARRAY deprecated with a date.
Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2005 12:56:36 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1051115015636.9379@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20051115125442.9317.patches@notabene
This was marked deprecated "after 2.6" back in the 2.5 days.
But now it seems there isn't going to be any "after 2.6", and
we deprecate by date now. So set a date.
